Women's High Jump Final | Tokyo Replays 

What a Final ! Mariya Lasitskene was down in 9th place after two failures at 1.96 and on the brink of elimination. You could feel the tension as she was walking up and down preparing for her third attempt and then.........Stop !......she has to wait for a National anthem to be played. More time for her to zone in on this final attempt. This competition was about who wanted it the most. Mariya clears 1.96 and survives elimination. She clears 1.98 and goes into third place before moving into second equal with a 2 metre clearance. I just loved that scream of delight as she took the lead for the first time with 2.02 and then sealed victory with 2.04. Even more moving were the tears at the end. What an athlete ! What a Champion ! It was the very last event to finish in the stadium. What a finale ! I love you Mariya.

Finally a gold medal for Lasitskene, one of the greatest athletes of all time. Congratulations. Truly deserved.

still enjoyable to watch even after 2 years

I bet those who've been following Maria for a few years were emotional at the end of the contest, when she finally got that olympic gold.🇷🇺🥇Especially when she cried, she who always hides her feelings during a competition... It gave me chills. I can't imagine how much pressure she must've had. She's one of the greatest athletes of all time, and an awesome person. She 1000% deserves that gold !

Lasitskene is a legend. But seeing her tear up after the winning moment was really emotional. Lots of love from India.

I cried when Lasitskene secured her gold medal. Then I cried even harder when I saw her cried🥺 I love Yuliya, Iryna, Nicola and Yaroslava too, but I really want Lasitskene to be the champion because she deserves it! She’s focused, talented, hard working, and extraordinarily mentally strong. Just love her.

The commentators really didn't give Lasitskene much due. They are going on and on about McDermott, and saying how cool and chill she was being. She was all drama! (Don't get me wrong--I enjoyed it, but it was hardly chill). Meanwhile Lasitskene was calm and quiet the whole meet and it was like they forget about her every time until she jumped, and then it's be like "Oh, yeah, there's the three-time Olympic Champion. Minimal talk about her technique, history, personality. Nothing until the win. Kind of annoyed me. What a champion. What an awesome performances by the top women, too.

All hail the queen Maria Six world event appearance 6 gold medals. 2014 world indoors 2015 world championship 2017 world championship 2018 world indoors 2019 world championship 2021 Olympics One of the biggest field event performer ever in the women's athletics history.

Mariya, the best talent, deserves Olympic gold and she got it.

I truly miss the queen. Whenever I do, I come back and watch this with the same delight as 3 years ago. If this is her last big final, at least she will have gone out on top as a 3x world champion and an olympic champion.

Lasitskene, the queen of high jump, finally showed her emotions which we've been craving for! 🇷🇺❤ Congrats to McDermott, one really charismatic young girl with a bright future ahead.

Rewatching this and I'm in tears again. The pressure Maria must've been under makes me shudder. Incredible performance.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Mariya! Watching you today, once again, because I need to review your fantastic victory. Exciting! I miss you, that time when you entered your world alone to concentrate, plan, visibly with your eyes, your jump. You did the whole course with them, millimetrically, to win the meters and centimeters, with a lot of technique. You are still my favorite champion. Congratulations one more time.

I've never felt so happy seing an athlete finally winning that long awaited gold meldal than when Mariya won it! I was crying with her. She is such a legend!

Congratulations Mariya. I am a Yaroslava fan but your tears moved me. A suffered, desired and deserved gold medal after a difficult year. This gold also pays off for Rio 2016. Now you are among the greatest ever. Congratulations again.

Mariya Lasitskene I am crying with you😭❤ this final was so emotional.

That 3rd attemp of Mariya in 1.96 is her biggest jump ever in her career. So clutch!

Watching McDermott had me smiling the whole time too

Lasitskene you are a great champion..

Well from Maria (ROC) we learn that never trying to stop. Nothing impossible. I can barely not believe that in Maria's 3rd attempt will be succeed. Bcs she failed on just 1.96 two times. Congrats! Best senior ever and could give positive vibes to other young athletes!!!

Fly my little bird fly.......you are my favorite in all world. I saw all your competinions. BRAVO from all greece

If the Australian had jumped the 2.04, Maria would have jumped 2.06 Meters, she was just starting her game.

Режиссёру трансляции - особый респект, особенно за крупные планы.

Finally found this, just like many others, who were misled with the title. What I wanted to show you is this moment at 1:35:15 - you can only see her grimace and hardly hear her vocal reaction( due to outside noise) for failing to clear 198 in 1st try. I watched it on Eurosport, the noise was pretty low and you could clearly hear her grunt after she failed. It's so rare to see/hear any reaction from her, positive or negative, so, when I heard this, I knew that she will win the gold and I'm so happy for her.

I have never seen Maria L show real emotion before! Well deserved Gold🥇 What a final by the 3 medalists!!! 💪👌👏

This was a nail biter of a final. I am so happy for Lasitskene, she got her gold medal. I actually cried when I seen Mariya and Nicola cry, this was the best high jump final I've ever seen. Congratulations again to the medal winners

The last moment is touching, when you see both gold and silver crying...

I was searching for "Women's high jump | Tokyo Replays" daily but no results were coming out. I finally found it at the most unexpected place!

HOW did she do it? Last attempt at 1.96, and she does it. She had been folding at 1.95+, all year long leading up to the Olympics. You could literally see the writing on the wall, just as that announcer dude was saying - the BEST high jumper to not win an Olympic gold. It's rare when you find a 'magical' athlete, like this. That look on her face of hope and fear. NO one like her. THE best moment in the Olympics, if you are a big fan of 'the Shadow Chick,' aka Mariya Lasitskene. Also. Never seen her emotional before. The Olympic Committee screwed the Russian Track n Field team at the Rio Games, when she was unbeatable. Must be this HUGE weight off her shoulders. I'm hoping Putin gave her something better, when the athletes went to meet with him. She deserved it. And yet, NObody, who had seen her compete this year, thought she was even going to medal. She misses that attempt at 1.96m. She's out of the top 10.

I was so thrilled for Mariya. Best in the world for so long. 45 event winning streak. But denied an Olympic appearance during her absolute prime. Her legacy and mental calm were riding on this one outcome. Then nearly out twice...at 1.95 in qualifying and 1.96 during the final. I knew she would be overcome with emotion upon gold

Lady butterfly, McDermott: your clear smile ever.🥈(from Jujuy,Argentina)

Я пересматриваю уже десятый раз , и каждый раз как впервые. Молодцы все девушки ,но наша Машенька , Марусечка просто большая Молодец)))))))

thrilling final, Mariya is one of the greatest athlete this sport ever produced (with Kostadinova & Sotamayor) .. 3 World outdoor titles, 2 indoor world titles & Now olympics gold. Also she was robbed of her gold in Rio 2016. I think Mahuchink is the furture, her time will come. McDermott was impressive, and her smiles..

A must see for everybody! Mariya's impressive resilience, and australian Nicola's impressive determination. Yaroslava has many Olympics ahead of her, and her turn will come for sure, but not without a fight. The High Jump mode shows that the competition is not against others, but an individual battle. A battle to overcome its own limits, and repeat the results. It's not enough to do it once, it's necessary to have consistency. So in sport, so in life.

The GOAT of high jump, she won 2 olympic gold medals and all major tournaments in between. The Rio gold was given to her from all sporting world . Mariyia Lasitskene (Kushina)

Congratulations to all the ladies who competed. And to the Queen of high jump, Mariya Lasitskene, who after being denied the Olympics once, never gave up, and for 6 years straight has been one of the most dominate athletes, in any sport. Thanks for all of the great memories, and I hope to see more in the future, from you and the newer younger ladies, who will one day take over, as you have showed them how to be a champion, with class and dignity, and how to push themselves further.♥️😻♥️

Ещё и ещё раз просматриваю последние минуты турнира. Выражаю глубокую благодарность родителям и тренеру за воспитание настоящей спортсменки! Восхищаюсь поведением Марии в секторе. В Токио, да еще в финале Брильянтовой лиги она позволила излиться своим счастливым эмоциям в полной мере! Даже когда взяла 2.04 - позволила себе это только 2 сек, но осознав, что это не полная гарантия, тут же закрылась и стала готовиться к дальнейшей борьбе.

How Mariya got over 2.04 after a slow start is historic. McDermott was so close but she did over her personal best ever for silver. What a show.

Никола просто бесподобна! А Мария - королева!

I'm happy for Safina she had child (6month) and she wasnt competing any worlds or big compititions. But here she earned is 6th place (196sm). 👏👏👏👏👏

Королева, больше всего на этой олимпиаде переживал за Марию. Она должна была стать уже двухкратной. Спасибо Мария за эмоцию и твою силу воли!

Mariya is the real queen.

I'm really proud of McDermott 🇦🇺 . It took one of the all-time greats to beat her. This was a great final. Congratulations Maria & Nicola.

Мария Ласитскене супер спортсменка десятилетия! Она заслужила эту победу. Казахстан болел за нее!

Maria is a fantastic athlete and incredibly consistent. She routinely surpasses 2M when others are lucky to get 1.9M. She would have two golds if the Russians hadn’t beat banned as cheats in 2016. Maria might one day break the world record. She and Blanca Vlassic are my all-time favorites.

Потрясающие по накалу борьбы соревнования в прыжках в высоту были. Тем была сложнее но и слаще победа Маши! Так долго, она так долго шла к этому золоту, которое должна была получить ещё в 2016. Она потрясающая спортсменка с великолепной техникой и бойцовским характером, да и просто красивая женщина.. Она многое получила в спорте, хотя могла бы получить ещё больше, "если бы да кабы".. Пусть и в личной жизни у не всё сложится хорошо! Таких людей не забывают, с таких личностей берут пример.

What a BRILLIANT commentary job. The Olympics is not only the best athletes in the world but clearly the best sports analysts and commentators. Not only did they get my adrenaline up and make me excited for every moment but they taught me about the sport, they broke down the human phycology of what is happening in the moment to these athletes and gave me an extra appreciation for what I am watching. Shout out to you guys even though your names will never make headlines, keep it up !

I’m so happy for Maria😭 she has been through so much

Мария, ты- ВЕЛИЧАЙШАЯ!!! ❤ Прыгнуть с одним из лучших результатов в истории Олимпиад достойно уважения! Героическая победа! 💯👍

This is not pole vault, but this high jump

These are exactly what Olympians are all about. Tears of joy and honor to represent their country, flying their flags with pride.

I watched expecting a Pole Vault competition but ended up watching this epic High Jump battle. Congratulations to Lasitskene on such a nail biter of a competition. I'm surprised how invested I was by the end on watching something I first had no interest in, what a showing by McDermott and Mahuchikh. Looks like I have something to look forward for in 2024 Women's High Jump, what a sport 👏👏👏.

Luv the Queen, truly a dark beauty! What extraordinary confidence and bravati to throw a kiss to everyone at 234:19 just before Nicola jumped and Mariya won gold ... pure class!!

When I think of the Tokyo Olympics 2020, I will never forget great Mariya Lasitskene, Eliud Kipchoge and absolutely wonderful medal ceremony music.

I loved McDermott's preparation moment, she looks capable of flying away.

на эту победу Марии можно смотреть вечно- огромное удовольствие, заслуженная победа великой спортсменки! Браво Мария и спасибо!

We, men of culture, have once again gathered to take part in the spectating of this great and most prestigious sport.

Was really pulling for McDermott. Congrats on silver. She seems sooooo sweet! That smile!!!! Go girl 👍❤💪

2:40:28 this hits so much harder in 2022

McDermott is so entertaining to watch 👍🔥🤩

Lasitkene's technique is excellent.

100 раз смотрю. УМНИЦА!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those final jumps had me yelling in my chair! AMAZING to see the athleticism! Congratulations to all 3 but especially Lasitskene! 👍👍👍

watching Nicola prepare, inspire and jump is just pure emotional inspiration and joy !!!!!

Love Mariya LASITSKENE ❤️🥰

Great final and best commentating I have heard in this Olympics. Very knowledgeable and supportive of all of the athletes. Thank you Guys. You called this so well. C

❤❤❤ Maria, Nicola and Yaroslava - amazing competition! Nicola, Yaroslava, don't worry, you are so young!

All of them are great - Yuliya, Iryna, Nicola, Yaroslava and, of course, Maria. So happy for her, her victory

I just watch this again and again just to watch mcdermott say "come on" !! :D

World class athletic beauties

2:13:00 is the key moment when Mariya reacts and takes the lead for the first time.

Мария молодец, давно заслужила эту медаль.

who's going to tell the admin, they either uploaded a wrong video. or titled it wrong. lol

Маша потрясающа. !!!!!!!! С таким характером можно горы переставлять. Плюс талант. Мария лучшая!!!!!!!

I'm from in Vietnam..I love MARY ❤️

2:17:38 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 Indian National Anthem in podium... because of our National Hero Neeraj Chopra🏅

It is like a great movie..suspense continued till the end..

2:17:38 that's the Indian National anthem playing in the background...what a proud moment for India... gold in javelin throw 😇🤗🥰

Truly a well deserved gold medal to add to Mariya’s multiple world championships for one of the most dominant high jumpers and athletes for nearly a decade! She’s normally so stoic when she jumps whether she makes it or not and this is the first time I’ve seen her show such emotion on a big stage so you know it meant a lot to her. Ukraine also has got a bright future with their young jumpers! McDermott was great and truly ‘rose’ to the occasion so it was just a great competition all around!

Нравятся прыжки в высоту среди женщин- такие грациозные газели!)) Мария, просто молодец и умница!!))

I love the amount of pathos McDermott gatters before each jump.

what a talent of Lasitskene. great job girl. congratulations

great achievement for Mariya, Nicola, Yaroslava, Iryna, Eleanor, Safina, Eleanor....... great game! Mariya get Gold medal, Yaroslava the youngest world No.1 ranking today, Nicola from 10th climb up the 3rd of the world.

I'm sooo happy for Maria! Finally, her time has come even 5 years too late. Also, I'm impressed with Safina. Her first global final, 0 experience and she has the confidence to pass at 1.84m!

Mcdermott gave it all! Her smile is very infectious. What a great finals.

Maria is still the queen even in her absence. She would probably be laughing while watching that EC final in Munich.

Lasitskene is "The Terminator"

This is a beautiful event and these women are incredible! Technique, poise, emotion, hard work... congratulations to Lasitskene and all the medalists and participants! - WW

Awesome event! It is fitting that Mariya won it by clearing 2.04 rather than on count back. Superb competition!

Lasitskene))) Great Champion!!!

That's really cute, knowing Mcdermott wrote something into her diary book every attempt!!! 1:04:15 Seems like she really workhard and pursue her dream well!!!

This is epic battle!!! better than the men's draw

This is poetry in motion combined with great technology! Congratulations everyone!

well deserved win. Could have been defending champion. Cucumber Maria finally could no longer keep her freezing cold emotion up and for the first time we heard her roar which shook the stadium followed by utter silence honored by audience. ' moment of her time " .Can not find another way to decorate her upmost achievement at the cost of vicious resilience, fair competitive determination.

Congratulations to Mariya Lasitskene on her gold medal performance in the women's high jump! This is an incredible achievement and she is definitely deserving of the title. Great job also to Nicola McDermott and Yaroslava Mahuchikh for their silver and bronze medal finishes, respectively. This was truly a great event to watch and everyone involved should be very proud of their accomplishments.

Just can't stop watching it.👍 What an amazing, marvelous competition!! And what a great QUEEN of high jump - MARIA LASITSKENE!!❤

Sería su segunda medalla de oro si no la hubiesen excluido injustamente en Rio 2016. Lasitskene lo ha ganado todo ♥️

McDermott....beautiful

As the commentator said......this is the BEST event !!!!

Even though they got the title wrong, I'm still totally enjoying this 😄
