Top Five hottest and fittest women high jumper
The high jump is a track and field athletics event in which competitors must
jump over a horizontal bar placed at measured heights without the aid of certain
devices. In its modern most practiced format, auxiliary weights and mounds have
been used for assistance; rules have changed over the years. It has been
contested since the Olympic Games of ancient Greece. Over the centuries since,
competitors have introduced increasingly more effective techniques to arrive at
the current form. Stefka Kostadinova (Bulgaria) has held the women's world
record at 2.09 meters since 1987, also the longest-held record in the
event.Women Fitness has selected the Top Five in women high jump who are the
hottest and fittest of them all.

and the 2011 World Championships in Athletics and won a bronze medal in the

Chicherova was among the world leading high jumpers for several years until she

herself as the world leading female high jumper displacing Blanka Vla�ić. Her
personal best jump and the Russian national record is 2.07 metres, achieved on
her 29th birthday at the Russian track and field championships of 2011. Her best
indoors was achieved at the Hochsprung mit Musik meeting 2012 in Arnstadt with

centimeters. Chicherova is among the top ten high jumpers of all time both
indoor and outdoor.

where she is coached by Yevgeni Zagorulko. She is married to Gennadiy Chernovol.
