Women’s High Jump Battle Competition At 

Buenos Aires 2018

BUENOS AIRES - In the women's long jump and pole vault disciplines the winners were Belgium's Maite Beernaert and Germany's Leni Freyja Wildgrube, respectively.

"Unlike Thursday when it was rainy and cold, today the weather was sunny and people were very supportive and that helped us a lot," said Wildgrube. "I felt very comfortable. Winning the gold was my goal because I knew that I was the favorite to achieve this because I am No.1 in the ranking."

Long jump winner Beernaert, on the other hand, was surprised at her golden result.

"Today is the most important day of my life," she said. "I did not imagine this moment and until I got the medal, I did not believe it was true."
