Soaring Nicola Olyslagers has enjoyed another triumph in her increasingly spectacular career, winning the Diamond League Final with an Australian and Oceanian record high jump in Zurich.
The double Olympic silver medallist's winning leap of 2.04cm - the best in the world this year - added a centimetre to her national and continental record on Wednesday, while demonstrating she's also in terrific shape to take the outdoor global title for the first time in Tokyo in a fortnight.
"I've been trying to get that height for a few years now - and today I got the Diamond trophy on top - what a day!" beamed the 28-year-old Central Coast athlete, who's shaping as the outstanding Australian hope in the Japanese capital.
