Vallortigara is a real veteran. She cleared 2.02 a few years ago. It was a magical event for her that day, as she has not come close to that performance since. She is a large woman for the high jump, as she usually weighs around 160 pounds while competing. She carries the weight in her legs. Usually that's bad news for the high jump but her technique is excellent and she's very strong. She's still the best in Italy, and by a large margin from the results of this competition.
An apt observation. The Mediterranean women, while fierce competitors and very strong, just don't tend to have the optimal body type for high jump, as opposed to the Slavs. Shorter legs and more weight in hips and thighs. Contrast with the build of Lasitskene, Mahuchikh, Vlasić, etc. Thank you for the video.
@@pukulu For sure. At 185cm in height and only 56kg, she certainly LOOKS like she could achieve higher. Perhaps at that elite level, it comes down to also having perfect technique.

@@gregoryschmidt1233 You've probably seen Vashti Cunningham. That's a body type designed for the high jump. She's never gone as high as 2.02 though.
