Also at Metz, Yaroslava #Mahuchikh added two centimeters to her world lead in the high jump with a 2.02m clearance. It took the young #Ukrainian just 6 tries to get that high, including an uncharacteristic miss at 1.92m, and she finished with 3 tries at a PR of 2.07m, which would have put her equal-2nd on the all-time list, but she could not clear it.

This was the season opener for Weerman, still just 19 but with an impressive resume that includes a world U20 silver and a Euro U20 gold. Honsel, 25, was in her fourth meeting, having already gone 1.86-1.90-1.89. This put her second on the world list behind Yaroslava #Mahuchikh (2.00).

When the bar got to 1.98, Weerman had been perfect through seven jumps, while Honsel had missed four times in 13 attempts. But she made 1.98 on the second try while Weerman bombed out.
