Australia’s Nicola Olyslagers added world outdoor high jump gold to her two world indoor titles, clearing 2.00m to triumph in the rain at the World Athletics Championships Tokyo 25 on Sunday (21).
The two-time Olympic silver medallist had a flawless competition up to her winning height and that paid off as she won on countback ahead of Poland’s Maria Zodzik, who managed 2.00m for a PB on her third attempt.
That secured her the silver ahead of Ukraine’s world record-holder and defending champion Yaroslava Mahuchikh, who shared bronze with Serbia’s Angelina Topic as they both cleared 1.97m and couldn’t be separated on countback.
