Sofie Natalie Skoog (born 7 June 1990) is a Swedish high jumper.[1] She represented her nation Sweden at the 2015 IAAF World Championships, and at the 2016 Summer Olympics, finishing seventh in the final round of the women's high jump.[2] Skoog currently trains as a member of the track and field squad for IF Göta Karlstad, under the tutelage of her coach Stefan Holm, a former high jumper and Athens 2004 champion.[3]
Skoog competed for Sweden, along with her fellow countrywoman Erika Kinsey, in the women's high jump at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.[4] Six months before her maiden Games, she jumped a height of 1.94 m to attain the IAAF Olympic entry standard by just a single centimetre at the Nordic Championships in Växjö.[5] Having entered the final round with a personal best of 1.94 m set at the qualifying phase, Skoog managed to jump easily into the competition at 1.88, and then spent two attempts to get over 1.93 m. Unable to trump the 1.97-metre mark after three attempts, Skoog ended her Olympic campaign in a two-way tie with Germany's Marie-Laurence Jungfleisch for seventh place.[2] [6] [7]
