Qatari High Jumper Barshim Clears 2.43m at IAAF Diamond League in Brussels
(MENAFN- QNA) Qatari high jumper Mutaz Essa Barshim clears 2.43m at the IAAF Diamond League final in Brussels on Friday.
Barshim settled for a mere 2.43m – a height only the great Cuban Sotomayor has beaten – to win the contest as world champion Bogdan Bondarenko cleared 2.40m before clipping the bar at 2.43m and then, twice, at 2.46m.
The deciding moment came with the bar at 2.43m. Barshim engineered a beautiful clearance. Not only was it a world-leading mark, but it also broke his own Asian record as well as the IAAF Diamond League record.
The contest surpassed the memorable Diamond League clash in New York in June when both men cleared 2.42m before failed attempts at a 2.46m world record height.
