The fifth stage of the 'Diamond League' will take place in London on July 19. Ukraine was supposed to be represented by Yaroslav Mahuchikh and Yuliia Levchenko.

However, Levchenko was not included in the list of participants, the Suspilne Sport portal reported. Levchenko stated that she will not be able to participate in the tournament due to organizational reasons. She did not specify the details.

Initially, Levchenko was registered for the high jump competition along with Mahuchikh, but her name disappeared from the starting list, which now includes eight participants, including the world ranking leader Mahuchikh and Australian Eleanor Patterson.

Levchenko last missed a Diamond League stage in September 2024 in Zurich. In the 2025 season, she participated in all four previous stages, with her best result being fourth place in Xiamen, Shanghai, and Stockholm.

Four days before the stage in London, Yuliia won silver at the Continental Tournament in Brescia with a result of 1.97 m, which is her second-best result of the season.
