In her breakthrough 2022 season in June, still only 16, Topić set a national senior high jump record of 1.96 m at the Serbian Championships in Kruševac, breaking Mladen Nikolic's record dating back to 1984 and equalling the world under-18 best.[4] The following month, she won the high jump event at the European Under-18 Championships in Jerusalem with a leap of 1.92 m. In August, she went on to take the bronze medal at the World U20 Championships held in Cali, Colombia, clearing 1.93 m. At her first major senior competition the same month, Topić earned bronze at the Munich European Championships with a jump of 1.93 m, becoming the youngest medallist of the entire championships.[5][6] She also set national records at U18 & U20 levels in the pentathlon that year.[1]
