Croatia's high jump champion Blanka Vlasic won first place at a Diamond League meeting in Birmingham on Sunday by clearing 199 cm.

Vlasic came first despite a painful knee and after two consecutive defeats, in Lausanne and London.

This was her third victory at Diamond League meetings this year, after Shanghai, where she cleared 194 cm, and Rome, where she jumped 195 cm.

Vlasic retains the lead in the Diamond League high jump rankings with 14 points.
