Mariya Aleksandrovna Lasitskene (Russian: Мария Александровна Ласицкене, pronounced [mɐˈrʲijə ləsʲɪtsˈkʲenɨ]; née Kuchina; born 14 January 1993) is a Russian athlete who specialises in the high jump. She is the 2020 Olympic champion and three-time world champion (2015, 2017, and 2019). With her victory in Tokyo, Lasitskene became the fourth female high jumper in history (after Stefka Kostadinova, Heike Henkel & Anna Chicherova) to win gold at both the Olympic Games and the World Championships. Lasitskene was not able to defend her Olympic high jump title due to a World Athletics ruling banning Russian track and field athletes from competing in the 2024 Summer Olympics.
