Australian high jumper Izobelle Louison-Roe has won gold at the World Athletics U20 Championships.

The 19-year-old came into the championships in Eugene, Oregon as the leading under-20 jumper this year, twice hitting a personal best of 1.95 metres.

She would not need a personal best to win gold on Sunday (local time), with a jump of 1.92m enough to be crowned champion, adding to the silver she won at Lima during the 2024 championships.

Hungary's Lilianna Bátori claimed silver and Spaniard Aitana Alonso won bronze, both jumping 1.90 metres.
