2024 Women’s High Jump World Rankings

January 2025 by T&FN
Just a single loss blemished Yaroslava Mahuchikh’s seasonal record and she raised a 37-year-old WR. (VICTOR SAILER/PHOTO RUN)

LOTS OF FAMILIAR faces in this one: Yaroslava Mahuchikh and Iryna Gerashchenko for the fifth year in a row, Nicola Olyslagers and Eleanor Patterson for the fourth, Lamara Distin for the third, Angelina Topić for the second…

CONSPICUOUSLY ABSENT is Vashti Cunningham, with a streak ending at 7. She did continue her U.S. domination, scoring for the tenth year in a row, with an ongoing streak of 7 No. 1s…

WR SETTER MAHUCHIKH lost only a single competition en route to a third straight No. 1. Before that she had started her career with a No. 3 and a No. 2. Olyslagers repeats as No. 2 after kicking things off with a No. 3 and a No. 4…

TEEN STAR TOPIć moved to =No. 7 on the all-time Junior list. She qualified for the Olympic final but announced she could not compete, having fractured her non-takeoff ankle in the qualifying round.
