Competitions continue in Paris 2024 Olympic Games in athletics. Ukrainian Yaroslav Maguchykh won gold in the women’s high jump.
Australian came second Nikola Olislagers. She spoke favorably of Yaroslav, praising his human and athletic qualities.
“Yaroslava is one of my favorite people in the world. When we’re together, it’s always fun. When you have such an enemy, she is an obstacle for you, for gold. But you can also love her, support her and compete with her. And when she wins, we always support each other.
It was an amazing opportunity to compete with Yaroslava. The pressure of being a world record holder, especially in the next competitions, is taking a toll on him. And all our high jumpers are inspired by her.
My performance? I knew I could take 2 meters. I tried to catch the rhythm of the jumps and match the steps. The last few months have been difficult, and at the moment you can only think about the history of your jersey.
80 thousand spectators in the stadium? I feel like this is my first Olympics. Competing in front of so many people is a new pressure. But you can grow as an athlete in such situations and deal with it. And when I jumped 2.00 meters, I liked it.
Ukraine has a history of high jumping, we don’t. And the fact that we are all here now is great. This allows the whole country to fall in love with sports. It would be great to have a world team championship,” said Olislagers.
