The high jump is hardly a two-woman, or even three-women, show.
Five athletes have already cleaned up two meters this year, and several more have a personal records above the prestigious height. Among those, that of Great -Britain Morgan Lake broke its own national record in Zurich with 2.00 million, while Germany Christina Honsel Is on the same sign on the top list of the World Athletics.
The Zurich final alone saw four women 2.00 m, a signal that Tokyo could deliver one of the most competitive qualifying rounds in the championship history.
Beyond the headline acts, two wildcards could increase the medalscript. Angelina -Topper Van Serbia, among the 20 world champion, already has European medals and has returned from the injury that obstructed her in Paris. Her career is young and ceiling unknown, but one clean round at the right height can change everything.
Jamaica’s 2022 Commonwealth Games Champion Distin Limal Is another fierce competition. The NCAA record breaker became the first collegiate woman ever to know 2,00m indoors, and although her Olympic debut ended in a heartache, her rough talent will make her to watch.
Among the more seasoned names, Ukraine Yuliia Levchenko Has rediscovered the spark that wore her to World Silver in 2017 and arrived almost 2.02 m in Zurich. And never count Vashti Cunningham from the United States, multiple national champion and 2019 bronze medal winner, with a personal record of 2.02 m.
The record of the world championships will continue to exist 2.09m** Stefka Kostadinova ‘** s long -term marking. Mahuchikh’s world record of 2.10mLast year set at the Paris Diamond League, the conversation reopened: Heights of 2.06 m, 2.07 m or more are suddenly realistic goals in a championship.
As Mahuchikh said on one press conference Earlier this summer: “My goal is always to go higher, improve my world record and defend my title in Japan.”
In high jumping it is not just about how high you are, but when You knew it. Athletes continue by cleaning up the Automatic qualifying height of 1.97 m Or by ranking in the top 12. If more than 12 athletes tie up, countback Rules apply: those with fewer errors at earlier heights continues. That means that one early slip at 1.89 can be the difference between jumping for medals or watching from the stands.
The qualification of the women’s high jump takes place September 18, 2025 at 6.15 am local time, with the final planned for September 21, 2025 at 6.30 am.
