Yuliya Levchenko won the Ukrainian championship in high jump: how it happened.

In the finals of the Ukrainian championship in high jump, nine athletes competed for gold. The main battle took place between the two-time national champion and Kateryna Tabashnyk.

The Olympic participant in Paris achieved an important victory, reported ''.

The decisive height was 1.87 meters, which Yuliya Levchenko cleared on the first attempt. Kateryna Tabashnyk was unable to clear the bar in three attempts, and victory went to Yuliya. Already as a champion, she raised the bar to 1.95 m and cleared it on the third attempt. The attempt to clear 2.00 m was unsuccessful.

Why Levchenko's championship is particularly important

For one of the stars of Ukrainian athletics, this title is the first since 2019. Before this, she had won the national championship twice, in 2018 and 2019. The victory is valuable as it took place as part of the selection for the world championship.

'It's great that many fans came. Especially the children's voices were inspiring. I thought: Yulia, you need to jump. It's doubly pleasing,' - noted Levchenko.

What the athlete said about her triumph

The Olympic participant noted that despite her coach's advice not to exceed 2.00 m, she decided to take the risk. The fact that her mentor was present at the competition was important - this season, Yuliya often competed without her. Levchenko also emphasized that the Ukrainian championship is always an important start.

'We have very high competition, and competing here is a challenge. The girls fought very well today, and it motivated me. The main feeling on the field is like flying. When you feel that moment, the numbers and place do not matter. You just enjoy the flight,' - added Levchenko.
