Katie Moon of the United States of America won silver after clearing the same height on her third try, while Newman fell short.
In spite of this, Newman celebrated her historic win for her home country by leaping up and down off the mat as she raced past a jubilant audience.
After the contest, the athlete seemed to have damaged herself by clutching her hamstring, but this was all an act to get herself ready for the X-rated party.

Her celebratory twerking, in which she bowed her knees and placed her palms on her thighs, quickly went viral.
The BBC commentators were at a loss for words, just stating: “I’m not sure about that celebration.” However, she relished the audience’s disbelief and giggled as she executed the celebration.
