She broke the record after already securing the gold medal in the event. Stefka Kostadinova set her world record at the World Championships in Rome on August 30, 1987. Now, after the Ukrainian, the Australian Nikola Olisagers took second place with 201 centimeters, and Angelina Topic from Serbia came third with 198 centimeters. How records fall… The legendary Yordanka Blagoeva speaks to FACTS.
- Mrs. Blagoeva, the world record in the high jump, which was held by Stefka Kostadinova in Bulgaria for 37 years, has fallen? How do you take it…
- Records don't fall. Records are meant to be broken. Stefka's record remains, as does mine of 194 cm. They are and will be eternal. Otherwise, I am glad that Stefka's record of 209 cm. is now improved. This means that the sport is moving forward, developing and above all our discipline. I can see that there was a lot of controversy in the public space, but the truth is that the girl just went and jumped and improve
