IVAN UKHOV: “I PLAN TO BE IN PARIS. I LIKE TO COLLECT MEDALS.”

Russia’s Ivan Ukhov was last year’s most reliable elite high jumper, although he had to settle for second best at the 2010 European Athletics Champions in Barcelona at the back his team mate Alexsandr Shustov.

Ukhov started 2010 by going over 2.37m inside at the Moravia High Jump Tour meeting in Hustopece, Czech Republic, in January which ended up being the most excellent jump by anybody under any conditions in 2010.

He then provided an suitable bookend to his 20 competitions this year by jumping 2.36m in the Polish meeting in Opole in September, the best jump in the world out-of-doors this year and his 14th win of 2010.
