An Olympic high jumper has caught the attention of viewers after displaying a very particular but apparently effective relaxation technique in between rounds, which might’ve been just the right ingredient needed to elevate her performance.
22-year-old Yaroslava Mahuchikh secured the gold medal this Sunday (August 4) with an impressive 2-meter jump in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Right before her exercise, fans around the world were intrigued by a very special ritual by the athlete. She opened a sleeping bag and slipped inside to relax while looking at the open stadium sky.
