European and World Indoor champion Mahuchikh cleared a world-leading height of 2.00 meters to win the women’s high jump in her first competition outdoors and the first since winning the world indoor crown in Belgrade in March.
Also winning on Friday’s first night of competition at Prefontaine Classic 2022 was Sweden’s Mondo Duplantis, who also continued his winning form in the men’s pole vault.
Duplantis, the Olympic champion and two-time European gold medalist, cleared a comfortable 5.91m to wrap up the victory on the night before advancing the bar to 6.07m where he was unsuccessful in his three attempts at the height.
Elsewhere, Francine Niyonsaba missed breaking the women’s two-mile world record, but was still impressive when posting the second-fastest time on the all-time list with 8:59.08, while Ejgayehu Taye ran a new personal best, world-leading and Prefontaine Classic record of 14:12.98 to win the women’s 5000m run.
In the women’s discus throw action, Olympic champion Valarie Allman of the USA tossed 68.35m to top a strong that also included Croatia’s Sandra Perkovic.
Perkovic finished second on the night with her best mark of the competition at 65.50m, while Germany’s Kristin Pudenz took third with 62.58m.
