Rose Yeboah misses out on medal spot in women's high jump final

Ghanaian athlete Rose Yeboah’s ambition of winning a medal at the World Athletics Championships was dashed after she finished 12th in the women’s high jump final at the 2025 edition of the tournament.

Despite several attempts, she was unable to clear the 1.93-meter mark, which could have placed her in contention for a podium finish.

This marks the end of her maiden appearance at the World Athletics Championships, where she reached the final despite lacking extensive experience at this level.
