2013 World Championship in Moscow. She set a new personal best
of 6586 points to win her first major international title.
As the results below show the first five women all achieved personal
best score for the two day event.
Hanna's colour is due to the reflection of the sand into which she is about to land !
Some spell her name Ganna Melnichenko and her married name
of Hanna Kasyanova after she married Ukrainian decathlete Oleksiy Kasyanov
