Blanka Vlašić | 2026
Blanka Vlašić is a Croatian former track and field athlete who specialised in the high jump. One of the finest high jumpers the sport has seen, Vlašić brings with her a career built on longevity and success at the highest level. The Croatian star won Olympic silver at Beijing 2008 and followed it up with a bronze at Rio 2016, alongside multiple World Championship and World Indoor titles.

Off the field, Vlašić has continued to stay closely connected to sport.
