Qatar's Mutaz Barshim Seeks Fourth High Jump Consecutive Gold

Qatar's ace high jumper Mutaz Essa Barshim has set his sights on an unprecedented fourth world championships gold.

The Golden Falcon is now one step away from his dream after he made the Budapest final's qualification mark of 2.28M without a single misstep.

Barshim took the world titles in 2017 London, 2019 Doha, and 2022 Eugene.

The final of the high jump competition will be held today evening at 8:58 pm Doha time. 

The World Athletics Championships which kicked off today, August 19th, will conclude on August 27th, and it will bring together around 2,000 athletes from 200 nations in 49 events.

Standing in Barshim's way to gold in Budapest will be Italy's Gianmarco Tamberi, Germany's Tobias Potye, USA's JuVaughn Harrison, South Korea's Woo Sanghyeok, New Zealand's Hamish Kerr, Australia's Joel Baden and Ukraine's Andriy Protsenko.
