Ah yes, remember watching Dragutin Topić.
But 195 for 16-year old is massive!
At this age, with that rapid improvement just in this meet, and with a father who was a top jumper, you can easily anticipate her jumping well over 2.0 meters in a few years, which would make her a medal contender every time out.
Impressive to see someone so young competing with the seniors. Saw her jumping in the Monaco DL meet.

She actually turns 18 in a few days, not 17.
Her dad jumped 2.38 and her mom triple-jumped 14.56. Her dad jumped 2.37 as a junior, so didn't improve much, though there isn't much space for improvement at those heights.
