ANOTHER YEAR, ANOTHER No. 1 for Mariya Lasitskene. This year’s is her sixth, tying her with Stefka Kostadinova. They trail only Iolanda Balaș… Lasitskene’s road to the top was fairly straightforward as she won 14 of 18 meets, including the Olympics and DL Final…
THE ONLY ONE to beat Lasitskene twice was teenager Yaroslava Mahuchikh, who also had the year’s best sequence of marks. She topped the 2-meter (6-6¾) barrier in 11 meets, compared to 5 for Lasitskene… Nicola McDermott beat Mahuchikh for Tokyo silver, but in addition to her raft of high marks the Ukrainian beat the Aussie 4-2 overall…
VASHTI CUNNINGHAM, still just 21, rates as the top American for the fourth time in a row. Save for the Olympics she never competed outside the U.S.
