He set a new personal best of 2.32m in winning gold at the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast, Qld, Australia on 11 April.

That is the third highest leap so far in 2018 (as on 1 September). He then won the IAAF Diamond League Final in Brussels, Belgium, on 31 August, clearing 2.33m.

Starc first rose to prominence in the senior international track and field scene when, at 21 yrs of age, he made the high jump final at the 2015 IAAF World Championships, coming a creditable twelfth (the first Australian to contest a major men's high jump final since Tim Forsyth in 1997 at Athens). Moreover, Starc confidently produced a personal best of 2.31 m at his first attempt at that height during the qualifying phase of the competition.
