With a resilience and confidence that makes everyone forget that she is only 20 years old, Yaroslava says that she won to protect her country on the athletics track. As part of our \\u201cShe Moves Us\\u201d series, CATch up sat down with Yaroslava to talk about her beginnings in the sport, her emotional victory in Belgrade and her ambitions.\\nBorn in Dnipro, Ukraine\\u2019s fourth largest city, Yaroslava dreamed of a creative profession when she was in school: \\u201cI wanted to become an artist, because I painted a lot. I also thought of becoming a singer.\\u201d Things changed when she started with track and field, first as a hurdler and later as a high jumper.\\n\\u201cI was about 11 when I started. I trained for five years.

Avec une r\u00e9silience et une confiance qui font oublier qu'elle n'a que 20 ans, Yaroslava dit qu'elle a gagn\u00e9 pour prot\u00e9ger son pays sur la piste d'athl\u00e9tisme. Dans le cadre de notre s\u00e9rie \u201cShe Moves Us\u201d, CATch up s'est entretenu avec Yaroslava pour parler de ses d\u00e9buts dans le sport, de sa victoire \u00e9mouvante \u00e0 Belgrade et de ses ambitions.<\/span>\n<br\/>N\u00e9e \u00e0 Dnipro, la quatri\u00e8me ville d'Ukraine, Yaroslava r\u00eavait d'une profession cr\u00e9ative lorsqu'elle \u00e9tait \u00e0 l'\u00e9cole : <strong>\u201cJe voulais devenir artiste, car je peignais beaucoup.

Yaroslava ne pouvait m\u00eame pas penser \u00e0 s'entra\u00eener dans les jours qui ont suivi le d\u00e9but du conflit en Ukraine. Comme beaucoup d'autres dans son pays, elle a \u00e9galement d\u00fb se cacher des roquettes et des bombes dans un sous-sol. Malgr\u00e9 tout, elle a pris la d\u00e9cision de parcourir en voiture les 2 000 kilom\u00e8tres qui la s\u00e9paraient de la Serbie.<br\/>\n<br\/>\u201c<strong>Nous avons fait un voyage de trois jours en voiture jusqu'\u00e0 Belgrade, mais cela m'a rendu plus fort et j'ai gagn\u00e9 une m\u00e9daille d'or pour mon pays,<\/strong>\u201dElle s'en souvient. Et quelle victoire ! Apr\u00e8s avoir remport\u00e9 la m\u00e9daille de bronze aux Jeux olympiques de l'\u00e9t\u00e9 dernier, Yaroslava a surmont\u00e9 trois sauts rat\u00e9s avant de franchir 2,02 m\u00e8tres.

Je suis tr\u00e8s fi\u00e8re de repr\u00e9senter l'Ukraine au niveau international, car je prot\u00e8ge mon pays sur la piste,<\/strong>\u201d, dit-elle r\u00e9solument. Pour Yaroslava, le concours a \u00e9t\u00e9 une victoire \u00e9motionnelle, ses pens\u00e9es revenant sans cesse vers son pays d'origine.\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/>\u201c<strong>J'ai peint mes ongles en bleu avec un c\u0153ur d'amour jaune, juste pour faire un petit geste et leur dire que je suis de tout c\u0153ur avec eux,<\/strong>\u201d, ajoute-t-elle.<br\/>\n<br\/>Apr\u00e8s les championnats du monde, Yaroslava s'est rendue \u00e0 Herzogenaurach pour s\u00e9journer pr\u00e8s du si\u00e8ge de PUMA. Elle a pu s'y reposer de l'\u00e9v\u00e9nement et du voyage difficile, avant de se pr\u00e9parer pour ses prochaines comp\u00e9titions.

monde en salle, la sauteuse en hauteur Yaroslava Mahuchikh a d\u00fb faire un voyage de 60 heures en voiture pour \u00e9chapper aux bombes et aux roquettes qui tombaient sur son pays d'origine, l'Ukraine. Avec une r\u00e9silience et une confiance qui font oublier qu'elle n'a que 20 ans, Yaroslava dit qu'elle a gagn\u00e9 pour prot\u00e9ger son pays sur la piste d'athl\u00e9tisme. Dans le cadre de notre s\u00e9rie \u201cShe Moves Us\u201d, CATch up s'est entretenu avec Yaroslava pour parler de ses d\u00e9buts dans le sport, de sa victoire \u00e9mouvante \u00e0 Belgrade et de ses ambitions.\nN\u00e9e \u00e0 Dnipro, la quatri\u00e8me ville d'Ukraine, Yaroslava r\u00eavait d'une profession cr\u00e9ative lorsqu'elle \u00e9tait \u00e0 l'\u00e9cole : \u201cJe voulais devenir artiste, car je peignais beaucoup. Je voulais devenir artiste, parce que je peignais beaucoup. J'ai aussi pens\u00e9 \u00e0 devenir chanteuse. Les choses ont chang\u00e9 lorsqu'elle a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 pratiquer l'athl\u00e9tisme, d'abord en tant que coureuse de haies, puis en tant que sauteuse en hauteur.\n\u201dJ'avais environ 11 ans quand j'ai commenc\u00e9. Je me suis entra\u00een\u00e9e pendant cinq ans. Puis j'ai r\u00e9alis\u00e9 que je voulais m'entra\u00eener pour le championnat d'Ukraine et j'ai ensuite commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 participer \u00e0 des comp\u00e9titions internationales\u201c, ajoute-t-elle.\nSes professeurs n'\u00e9taient pas tr\u00e8s convaincus par son choix de carri\u00e8re et lui ont fait remarquer qu'elle ne devait pas n\u00e9gliger ses \u00e9tudes pour faire du sport. \u201dCes professeurs disaient que l'athl\u00e9tisme n'\u00e9tait qu'un hobby et que je ne devais pas le prendre trop au s\u00e9rieux. Mais je leur ai dit : Non, je veux \u00eatre une athl\u00e8te. Et une fois que j'aurai termin\u00e9 ma carri\u00e8re d'athl\u00e8te, je veux \u00eatre entra\u00eeneur. Je leur ai dit : \u201cJe vais le faire ! Je vais le faire\u2018, se souvient Yaroslava.\nSa d\u00e9termination a port\u00e9 ses fruits. \u00c0 15 ans, elle a remport\u00e9 la m\u00e9daille d'or aux Championnats du monde U18 \u00e0 Nairobi, suivie d'une autre m\u00e9daille d'or aux Championnats d'Europe U18. Avec son saut de 1,92 m\u00e8tre \u00e0 Nairobi, elle a r\u00e9alis\u00e9 la meilleure performance jamais r\u00e9alis\u00e9e par un jeune de 15 ans.\n\u2019Les professeurs ont chang\u00e9 d'avis\u2018, dit Yaroslava en souriant.\n\n\n\u00a0","status":"publish","password":"","name":"she-moves-us-interview-avec-la-championne-du-monde-en-salle-de-saut-en-hauteur-yaroslava-mahuchikh","modified":"2025-09-19 14:44:45","modified_gmt":"2025-09-19 14:44:45","content_filtered":"","parent":0,"type":"post","mime_type":"","template":"","category":[18],"datetime_local":"31 mars 2022 \u00e0 06:48","date_local":"31 mars 2022","time_local":"06:48","slug":"she-moves-us-interview-with-the-world-indoor-champion-in-high-jump-yaroslava-mahuchikh","url":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/fr\/sports\/she-moves-us-interview-with-the-world-indoor-champion-in-high-jump-yaroslava-mahuchikh\/","featured_image":{"width":1140,"height":640,"file":"2022\/03\/Header-1.png","filesize":1095933,"sizes":{"medium":{"file":"Header-1-300x168.png","width":300,"height":168,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":39324},"large":{"file":"Header-1-1024x575.png","width":1024,"height":575,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":307972},"thumbnail":{"file":"Header-1-150x150.png","width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":19761},"medium_large":{"file":"Header-1-768x431.png","width":768,"height":431,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":187459},"trp-custom-language-flag":{"file":"Header-1-18x10.png","width":18,"height":10,"mime-type":"image\/png","filesize":792}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]},"id":35869,"alt":"","caption":"","description":"","url":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Header-1.png","title":"En-t\u00eate","aspect_ratio":1.78125,"focalPointLeft":0.5,"focalPointTop":0},"headline":"She Moves Us: Interview with the World Indoor Champion in high jump, Yaroslava Mahuchikh","categories":[{"term_id":18,"name":"Sports","slug":"sports","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":18,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":860,"filter":"raw","url":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/fr\/category\/sports\/"}],"theCategory":{"term_id":18,"name":"Sports","slug":"sports","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":18,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":860,"filter":"raw","url":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/fr\/category\/sports\/"},"isFeaturedArticle":true,"isTopArticle":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35872"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35872\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35869"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35872"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
