High jump champion Mutaz Barshim will be the star of the Paris Olympics, which officially kick off on the 26th of this month. Mutaz Barshim, who has won almost everything in the high jump and immortalized his name in Olympic history with the most famous shot in the Tokyo Games when he shared the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics with his Italian friend Gianmarco Tamberi, will carry the hopes of the Qatari delegation in the Paris Olympics, hoping to win more titles. Regarding his participation in the Paris Olympics, Barshim said in an interview with the “CGTN” network, “I want to create a legacy, I want my name to be mentioned when the high jump is mentioned.” Barshim revealed his participation in the Paris Olympics, saying, “I think Paris 2024 may be my last Olympics.” Barshim is scheduled to defend his Olympic title in the high jump in Paris after achieving the qualifying criteria by crossing 2.33 meters. Our Olympic and world champion has won 3 Olympic medals in total. Before the Tokyo gold, he won silver at the London 2012 Olympics and the Rio 2016 Games. Barshim also holds the second-highest jump in history (2.43 metres), and won the World Championships in London 2017, Doha 2019 and Eugene 2022, while winning bronze in the last edition in Budapest.
