Already this year, Spencer has won gold in her pet event at the Commonwealth Games, Central American and Caribbean Games, and North and Central American and Caribbean (NACAC) Senior Championships.

This time, she had to settle for the second runner-up spot, with Europe’s Mariya Lasitskene clearing 2.00 m for gold, and Asia-Pacific’s Svetlana Radzivil clearing 1.95 m for the silver.

For Spencer, she needed two tries at 1.93 m, and two tries as well at 1.91m, having cleared 1.87 m and 1.82 m on the first attempt. This has been the most successful season the 34-year-old has ever enjoyed, with three international gold medals and a bronze.
