Reigning Wanda Diamond League champion Yaroslava Mahuchikh will continue her title defence in the women’s high jump at the second meeting of the season in Keqiao on May 3, joining a star-studded line-up which already includes Mondo Duplantis and Karsten Warholm.<\/p>\n
Ukrainian superstar Mahuchikh will be eyeing a fourth straight Diamond Trophy in 2025, having swept to three back-to-back titles since 2022.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old confirmed her status among the greatest athletes in history in a breathtaking display of dominance last season, which saw her claim the Diamond League title, her first Olympic gold medal and the world record.<\/p>\n
Her 2.10m jump at the Wanda Diamond League Paris last July broke one of the longest-standing world records in athletics, with Mahuchikh going a centimetre higher than Stefka Kostadinova’s previous mark of 2.09 from the World Championships in 1987.<\/p>\n
She will be out to emulate that form when she returns to Diamond League action this spring, launching a season in which she is also hoping to defend her world outdoor title at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo.<\/p>\n
The Shanghai\/Keqiao meeting will be Mahuchikh’s second stop on the Road to the Final, with the Ukrainian also confirmed to compete at the season opener in Xiamen a week earlier.<\/p>\n
The Wanda Diamond League is the elite one-day meeting series in global athletics. It comprises 15 of the most prestigious events in global track and field. Athletes compete for points at the 14 series meetings in a bid to qualify for the two-day Wanda Diamond League Final, which will be held in Zurich on 27th and 28th August 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
