The Athletics Federation of Ukraine reports that on its website.
Mahuchikh began her final performance with a height of 1.90 m and then gradually cleared 1.95 m, 1.97 m, and 1.99 m before ultimately succeeding on her second attempt at 2.01 m.
She surpassed the Serbian Angelina Topić (1.97 m) in the battle for victory.
This is Yaroslava's second victory at the continental championship. She won the Euro for the first time in 2022.
Besides Mahuchikh, there are two other finalists in the competition: Ukrainian Iryna Herashchenko and Serbian Angelina Topić.
The defending champion confidently retained their title, clearing a height of 2.01 meters on their second attempt. However, the Serbian competitor could not match this mark.
Herashchenko could not surpass the Serb and was ultimately eliminated from the competition after failing to clear the bar set at 1.95 meters.
Therefore, Mahuchikh became the first high jumper in history to win more than two top honors at the European Championships.
Spanish Ruth Beitia and Romanian Yolanda Balash had achieved the same feat three times before.
