Vlasic returns to action in hometown surroundings on Friday

Women's High Jump competition in her hometown of Split, Croatia.

The meeting, staged on the Dalmatian city's Adriatic seaside promenade, or Riva, will be the two-time World indoor and outdoor champion's first appearance in her hometown since her emotional victory at the IAAF/VTB Bank Continental Cup last September when she electrified the crowd with a 2.05m leap, her best of the 2010 outdoor season.


Among the challengers will be Swede Emma Green-Tregaro who ended Vlasic's undefeated Samsung Diamond League streak in New York on 11 June where she weathered the wet conditions best, leaping to a 1.94m victory. Green also collected a win at the European Team Championships on Sunday (19), again in less-than-conducive conditions.

The field will also include Russian Svetlana Shkolina, a two metre jumper outdoors last year and indoors this year, most recently the winner of the Moscow Challenge on 12 June with a 1.95m season's best. Others expected to compete include Sweden's Ebba Jungmark, this year's European indoor bronze medallist, and Ana Simic, at 1.92m currently the Croatian No. 2, who took the European Team Championships First League title on Sunday (19) in Vlasic's absence.

If anyone can beat the world record and jump 2.10m she can, lets hope she cracks it in the World Championships

I really like Vlasic, she's one of the more exciting athletes out there at the moment, and there's great competition in the high jump right now. Looking forward to seeing the results from this.

Did you go to the link and have a look at her photo

ha, no Flash, easy to say she's not my type!

Its the legs that do it for me and her sexy wiggle after she clears a big height.

ha well fair enough! being female myself I prefer the likes of Thorkildsen

Vlasic is amazingly talented though, I reckon she's the only one with a chance of breaking the world record at the moment.

Oooops sorry I never thought for one minute you were a female, I just associated rugby with men old habits die hard but I am getting there, nice to know we have some female company at hand.

I can see you attraction for the big jav lad though really fit guy isn't he.

no worries, a lot of the posters on the rugby forum make the same mistake too!
