Nicola Olyslagers’ one-jump gamble pays off in rain-sodden Diamond League win
Australian shares three-way high jump victory in Lausanne
Christina Honsel and Maria Zodzik also clear 1.91m
On a night fit for ducks in Lausanne, Nicola Olyslagers defied the teeming rain to swan over the bar with just one bound and win her third Diamond League high jump in a row.
The incessant downpour made it a fairly miserable night for athletes in Lausanne on Wednesday (Thursday AEST), but that couldn’t keep the smile from two-time Olympic silver medallist’s face as she pulled off a successful gamble to share a three-way victory.
