Story summary

Eleanor Patterson, an Australian athlete, has won the women's high jump at the Diamond League Final in Brussels. She successfully cleared 2.01 meters with her final attempt at that height, edging out Yaroslava Mahuchikh, a Ukrainian Olympic champion and world-record holder who cleared 1.99 meters but failed to clear 2.01 meters. This is the second time this season Patterson has won a major title, following her gold medal win at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in late July. The victory gives Australia two wins at the King Baudouin Stadium over the weekend, including Cameron Myers's triumph in the men's 1,500m on the opening night. Patterson also attempted to clear a record-breaking height of 2.03 meters, but was unsuccessful.
