Ukrainian Yaroslava Mahochich, silver medalist at the 2019 World Championships and bronze at the Tokyo Olympics, achieved the best result this year in the high jump competition, jumping 2.01 m at the meeting in Paris on Saturday, the seventh stage of 13 in the Diamond League.

Under the heat in the capital of Paris, Mahocic recorded her number on her second attempt, knowing she had a previous record of two meters, which she achieved last May at a meeting in the US city of Eugene, which will be a month later the venue for the World Cup (with 15 to 24 July).

The 20-year-old Ukrainian woman cleared the 2.05-meter barrier in three attempts, which is one centimeter more than her personal record.

Mahochic was ahead of her compatriots Irina Gerachenko (1.98 m) and Yulia Levchenko (1.95 m).

22-year-old Winfried Motel Yaffe from Bahrain set the fastest time in the 3000m hurdles this year with a time of 8:56.55 minutes, the fourth fastest time ever.

And the promising Ethiopian Simbo Alemayehu (17 years old) came again with a time of 9:09.19 minutes, ahead of her compatriot Mikidis Abebe (9:11.09 minutes).

American Devon Allen, who came close to breaking the world record in the 110m hurdles (12.84 seconds) last week, took first place with a time of 13.16 seconds.

The second place was taken by the Brazilian Rafael Pereira (13.25 s), the third place was taken by the Frenchman Just Quau-Maathai (13.27 s).

Algerian Mohamed Ali Gwand finished fifth in the 800m with a time of 1:44.43, while Frenchman Benjamin Robert took first place with a time of 1:43.75.

Olympic champion Steven Gadiner of the Bahamas took first place in the 400 meters with a time of 44.21 seconds, ahead of Dominican Lidio Andres Felice (44.92 seconds) and South African Zaheti Nene (44.99 seconds). And in the absence of the world champion, the Tokyo Olympics and the world record holder in the pole vault competition of the Swede Armand Duplantis, the first place went to the Belgian Ben Brueders (5.80 m).

Prouders was ahead of Frenchman Renaud Lavillenie and Frenchman Thibaut Collet finished third (5.75m).

Veteran Jamaican runner Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, 35, finished first in the 100m with a time of 10.67 seconds, matching her best this year in Nairobi.

The silver medalist of the Olympic Games in Tokyo was ahead of the Briton Daryl Neto (10.99 seconds) and Marie José Ta Lo from Côte d’Ivoire (11.01 seconds).

The winner of nine world championships has confirmed that a month before the world championships in Eugene, her compatriot Elaine Thompson-Hirach, Olympic champion in Tokyo, will face fierce competition.

The two runners will compete next week in the Jamaican Trials to qualify for the World Championships.

“Technically I feel very good, I was very good. The goal is to always be on top technically and then the time comes,” said Fraser-Pryce, who will claim the world championship as the world champion in the 100m.

“Physically, I was good too. 10.6 seconds, few sprinters can do it,” she added.

And Fraser-Pryce confirmed on Friday that she has “not decided” whether she will compete in the 200m at the World Championships and said: “We’ll see if I’m physically and mentally ready for it.”
