This year, she has already won at stages in Shymany and Shanghai, as well as taking silver in Stockholm and Paris. Levchenko has scored 15 points and is currently in fourth place; she is still in contention for the final, with her best result of the season being 4th place.

The competition in London will be serious. In the start list is the bronze medalist of the 2024 Olympics Eleanor Patterson, sixth in the world ranking Kristina Gonzalez, eighth - Olena Kulychenko, and British athlete Morgan Lake, who rounds out the top 10. Also competing will be Imke Onnen, Lamara Distin, and Charity Hafnagel. Meanwhile, Nicola Olislagers, who has outrun Mahunich in previous stages twice, will skip this start.

The women's high jump competition at the London stage will start on Saturday, July 19, at 15:15 Kyiv Time.

It can accommodate up to 60,000 spectators and is considered one of the most modern athletics facilities in Europe. The stage broadcast can be watched on the 'Suspline Sport' channel.
