You are welcome to enjoy the latest result in the track and field gold winner of High Jump today.

From Yahoo sports news-

Belgium’s Tia Hellebaut won the women’s high jump on Saturday, beating Croatia’s Blanka Vlasic on countback.

The pair both jumped 2.05 metres and missed at 2.07, but Hellebaut was awarded the gold because she cleared 2.05 at her first attempt while Vlasic needed two goes.

Anna Chicherova of Russia won the bronze medal, clearing 2.03, while Russia’s defending champion Elena Slesarenko finished out of the medals in fourth place.

Vlasic was an overwhelming favourite to win the gold after winning last year’s world championship and being unbeaten since June 2007. (Editing by Alex Richardson)
