Ivan Sergeyevich Ukhov is a Russian high jumper. He won a gold medal at the 2010 IAAF World Indoor Championships and is a two-time European Indoor champion. He was also the silver medallist at the 2010 European Athletics Championships and the winner of the high jump at the inaugural 2010 IAAF Diamond League. In the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, he won the gold medal. Ukhov has broken the Russian national record indoors four times: jumping 2.39 meters on 28 January 2007 in Moscow; besting that with a 2.40 m jump on 25 February 2009 in Athens; and establishing a new absolute record of 2.41m on 16 January 2014 in Chelyabinsk; and then achieving 2.42 m on 25 February 2014 in Prague. His best outdoor effort, 2.39 m, was set in Cheboksary on 5 July 2012. His leap of 2.40m in 2009 made him the 11th man in history to jump 2.40 or better, and only four of those men have jumped higher; only three men have jumped higher indoors. His 2.42 ties him for the second best high jumper of all time, only behind Sotomayor.
