Overview

• The German champion cleared 1.97 m and missed 2.00 m three times to place fifth in a six-athlete high jump final.
• Australia’s Nicola Olyslagers won at 2.04 m with an Oceania record, ahead of Yaroslava Mahuchikh at 2.02 m and Britain’s Morgan Lake at 2.00 m with a national record.
• Honsel described her 1.97 m as satisfying and said she carries a very positive feeling into Tokyo for September 13–21.
• Her late-season surge included a first-ever 2.00 m clearance on August 9 in Heilbronn and a rain-hit Lausanne victory at 1.91 m.
• The Zurich meet functioned as the last major form test before the World Championships, where she aims to contend for a medal.
