The upcoming World Athletics Ultimate Championship in Budapest will feature intense competition among leading women’s field event athletes vying for the inaugural title. In high jump, Olympic champion Yaroslava Mahuchikh has shown strong form, clearing 2.03m early in the season and earning gold medals, despite training in war-affected Ukraine. She will be challenged by Yuliia Levchenko, Australia’s world champion Nicola Olyslagers, and Serbia’s Angelina Topić, all of whom have medaled at recent international events.
In the triple jump, Venezuela's world record-holder Yulimar Rojas has returned from a long Achilles injury with a season best of 14.95m. She faces strong competition from Leyanis Perez of Cuba and Olympic champion Thea LaFond, with Perez recently edging out Rojas in Toruń. All three have shown consistent form this season.
The long jump features standouts like Portugal’s Agate de Sousa, who achieved a 6.97m jump and won a world indoor title in Poland. The United States is represented by several athletes surpassing the seven-metre mark, including Tara Davis-Woodhall, an Olympic and world champion with personal bests over 7.10m. Americans Alyssa Jones and Alexis Brown have also cleared seven metres this season, while Italy’s Larissa Iapichino remains a key contender near that mark.
These headline rivalries in women’s field events are expected to bring dynamic competition to the Ultimate Championship, underscoring the depth and competitiveness of these disciplines.
