Australia’s Eleanor Patterson has continued her outstanding season by winning the women’s high jump at the Diamond League Final in Brussels.<\/p>\n

Patterson was joined on the podium by fellow Australian and reigning world champion, Nicola Olyslagers, who finished third.<\/p>\n

The result gave Australia two victories across the weekend at the King Baudouin Stadium, following Cameron Myers’s triumph in the men’s 1,500m on the opening night<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cameron Myers has beaten a star-studded field at the Diamond League Final in Brussels.<\/p>\n

Patterson successfully cleared 2.01 metres with her final attempt at the height, edging out Ukrainian Olympic champion and world-record holder, Yaroslava Mahuchikh (1.99m).<\/p>\n

Mahuchikh failed with her three attempts at 2.01m.<\/p>\n

Olyslagers cleared 1.95m to round out the top-three placings.<\/p>\n

Patterson attempted 2.03m, which is the same height as Mahuchikh’s 2026 world lead, but could not manage a successful clearance.<\/p>\n

She added the Diamond League Final title to her second Commonwealth Games gold, which she won in Glasgow in late July.<\/p>\n

Her win came a week after she equalled her personal best (PB) of 2.02m in Germany.<\/p>\n

“It’s amazing,” Patterson said.<\/p>\n

“I’ve only won a Diamond League meet once before in 2023, so to win the final is insane. I knew I was in good shape after jumping 2.02m a few days ago.<\/p>\n

“It was chilly, but I just went out to have fun and I’m super happy with how today turned out.”<\/p>\n

Patterson said ignoring the performances of her rivals was the key to victory.<\/p>\n

“Today, I stayed clinical and stuck to my own process, which really paid off,” she said.<\/p>\n

Australia’s Olympic silver medallist Jessica Hull was third in the women’s 1,500m, producing a season-best time of 3:54.73.<\/p>\n

“It’s nice to run the fastest I have all year in September, I think that shows my training works when you want to peak this time of the year,” Hull said.<\/p>\n

Poland’s Klaudia Kazimierska saluted with a world-leading time and meet record of 3:54.05, which was also a PB.<\/p>\n

Kenyan Dorcus Ewoi was second in a PB of 3:54.73, while Hull’s Australian teammate Abbey Caldwell (3:57.19) finished seventh.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Australia’s Sarah Billings was fifth in the women’s 800m with a time of 1.59.99.<\/p>\n

Swiss star Audrey Werro claimed the meet record in winning with 1:54.75.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Australia’s Eleanor Patterson has continued her outstanding season by winning the women’s high jump at the Diamond League…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":36465,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5],"tags":[5513,4434,18,19662,19664,19665,19663,9908],"class_list":["post-36464","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brussels","tag-athletics","tag-australia","tag-brussels","tag-eleanor-patterson","tag-high-jump","tag-jessica-hull","tag-nicola-olyslagers-diamond-league-final","tag-track-and-field"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@be\/117223006294209774","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36464"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36464\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/be\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
