The Queen of the Air Evolves

She has conquered the vertical. She has claimed the bronze in Tokyo, the silver in Toruń, and smashed the Serbian record in Banská Bystrica with a towering 2.00 meters. But Angelina Topić is not done rewriting the rules of gravity. The Serbian high jump star is wrapping up preparations for the summer season, set to kick off at the Diamond League meeting in Rabat this Sunday. After long stints in Izmir and final sharpening in Belgrade, she arrives in Morocco ready to dominate.

Blood Runs Deep in the Triple Jump

But wait—what is this? Her father and coach, Dragutin Topić, released a clip that has the athletic world doing a double-take. There, in the sand, Angelina isn't just clearing bars. She is launching into the triple jump! The video shows a six-step approach resulting in a casual 13.50 meters. "When 13.50 looks that easy... what are we even talking about?" Dragutin wrote, highlighting her raw, explosive power. It is a discipline that runs in the family; her mother, Biljana Topić, holds the Serbian national record of 14.56 meters. While Angelina has dipped her toes in the long jump at the Rome 2024 European Championships, this triple jump display suggests a terrifying versatility. The heir to the throne is ready to shock the world in Rabat.
