Aussie Patterson soars to high jump gold

SPORTS 20.07.2022

Australia's Eleanor Patterson soared to victory in the women's high jump at the World Championships in Oregon on Tuesday.

Text size:

Patterson won on countback after clearing the bar with a new Australian record of 2.02m at Hayward Field.

Ukraine's Yaroslava Mahuchikh – gold medallist at this year’s World Indoor Championships – took silver after a nail-biting duel with Patterson.

Italy's Elena Vallortigara won bronze with a jump of 2.00m.

Three-time defending world champion Mariya Lasitskene, gold medallist at the Olympics last year, was barred from defending her title as part of the ban on Russian athletes from the championships due to the invasion of Ukraine.
