REMEMBER the Olympic Creed: It's not about winning, it's about being part of this Great games!



ROC's (Russian) Mariya Lasitskene rises above the competition to win women's high jump gold.

The ROC athlete jumps 2.04m to take an impressive gold, with Australia's Nicola McDermott winning silver and Ukraine's Yaroslava Mahuchikh the bronze. 

Mariya Lasitskene has won the women's high jump gold medal after producing a huge jump of 2.04m in the Olympic final. Lasitskene was the only athlete to clear the mark, with Nicola McDermott of Australia jumping 2.02m to claim silver and Ukraine's Yaroslava Mahuchikh taking the third spot on the podium with 2.00m.

In a nail-biting competition that went right down to the wire, Lasitskene wrested the lead from front-runner McDermott to earn the title of Olympic champion - and the first gold by an ROC track and field athlete at the Games.

It marked a fitting end to what has been a thrilling track and field competition that has seen records broken, surprises struck and athletes from across the world win the greatest prizes in sport - Olympic gold medals.

This was not Lasitskene's first taste of Olympic glory. Some 11 years ago, the ROC athlete won gold at the Youth Olympic Games in Singapore with a jump of 1.89m. However, this title will represent an even sweeter victory for a bonafide champion who has also won the last three world titles in a row.
