Tara Davis-Woodhall is effortlessly dominating the 7-meter-plus range. In 2021, she launched a massive 7.14-meter jump at the Texas Relays, shattering records and landing herself in the top 30 all-time rankings. That incredible leap, along with her 7.04-meter performance at the Olympic Trials, secured her spot in the 2020 Olympics. While Tokyo didn’t bring her a medal, Tara’s resilience and determination have kept her pushing forward.

Fast forward to 2024, and she was out there bagging gold at the World Athletics Indoor Championships with another 7-meter jump. And yup, she did it again at the Paris Olympics—another 7-meter-plus leap, another gold medal. One fan totally nailed it, saying, “Tara sweeping, a consistent 7’0+ is not something any woman can do”

Another fan jumped in with, “Great Chouces All, but I must go with @vallman123 for her consistency, domination, and all-around amazingness!” And honestly? Can’t argue with that one bit! Whether it’s Tokyo or Paris, Diamond League 2021, the 2022 showdown, 2023’s epic meets, or even the 2024 spectacular—Valarie Allman has been all about stacking those golds. She’s out there proving she knows exactly how to throw and win. And oh, did I mention? She holds the North American record for the discus throw too.

One user was clearly caught in the dilemma of greatness, commenting, “This is a tough tie between Mahuchikh and Davis-Woodhall. Gonna wait and see.” And honestly, who could blame them? While Davis-Woodhall soars with her impressive 7+ jumps, the incredible Yaroslava Mahuchikh from Ukraine holds the women’s high jump world record. But that’s not all! Mahuchikh snagged gold at the 2024 Summer Olympics, triumphed at the 2023 World Championships, and dazzled at the 2022 World Indoor Championships. With such outstanding nominees, it’s no wonder fans are confused!

Yaroslava Mahuchikh is totally owning the title of world record holder, and it’s pretty wild to think about what she pulled off before the Paris Olympics! She jumped an insane 2.10 meters (6.88 feet) at a Diamond League meet in Paris, smashing a record that had been hanging around for a crazy 37 years! That old record of 2.09 meters? Yeah, it was set by Stefka Kostadinova way back in 1987! One fan even threw it out there, saying, “I would like Tara Davis to win, but Yaroslava Mahuchikh broke the world record after 37 years, she deserves it too,” as translated by google translation. It’s no surprise that fans are scratching their heads over this one—who wouldn’t be, given the lineup of such incredible nominees?
