2023 Women’s High Jump World Rankings

A LONG 17-MEET CAMPAIGN by young Yaroslava Mahuchikh featured no fewer than 15 wins, including the all-important WC and DL Final. Her pair of non-wins were both 3rds, both times behind Nicola Olyslagers & Iryna Gerashchenko…

THE AUSSIE SEWED UP No. 2 with a dominating 6-1 record against Gerashchenko, who was at her best in June and July and doing well in numerous top-quality meetings before a middle-of-the-pack finish in Budapest…

TEEN PRODIGY Angelina Topić, who didn’t turn 18 until the end of July, competed a lot and had a case for No. 4, but in the final analysis Eleanor Patterson’s WC silver was too good an honor to overcome… Vashti Cunningham is the top American for the sixth year in a row.
