First start after the winter season
This success marked Yaroslava's first official start following the conclusion of her triumphant indoor season. In March, she reclaimed her title as world indoor champion, becoming the most decorated Ukrainian athlete in the history of indoor world championships. At that tournament, she stood on the podium alongside her compatriot Yulia Levchenko, who won silver.
