Victory in Paris

Blanka's victory tonight does not fit the category: I came, I saw ... instead it was obtained in the unusual duel with the great American Howard-Lowe.


Everything before and after the 198 cm was smooth, but at that altitude, our record holder was close to the abyss.
She wangled and then jumped 2 m in the first attempt, and then 202 cm.


"I am very glad for this victory. I felt strong, but I still lack a real explosion," said Blanka after the event.


This is Blanka's fourth victory in a row on the Diamond League series with a maximum of 16 points in the female high jump rank.
