DOHA (Reuters) - Germany's Malaika Mihambo capped off a dominating campaign soaring to long jump gold at the world championships on Sunday.

Owner of the top three jumps of the season coming into the championships, Mihambo made it four by flying 7.30 meters to land on top of the podium.

Ukraine's Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk took the silver with 6.92m edging out Ese Brume by a centimeter, leaving the Nigerian to settle for bronze on 6.91.
