Maria Żodzik fights for Diamond League final spot in Zurich a month after injury

Maria Żodzik, 29, from Białystok won silver at the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham just a month after a bad fall in London. She tested her back with two practice jumps before competing, unsure if her spine would hold up. After that success, she competed in the Diamond League meeting in Zurich on Thursday, where a top-six finish would secure her a place in the Diamond League final. Her fate hinged on clearing 1.96 m.
