World champion a few days ago, Nina Kennedy achieved the best world performance of the year.
Australia’s Nina Kennedy, who shared the world pole vault gold a week ago, had the world’s best performance of the year with 4.91m clearing the temporary jumper installed in Zurich train station (Switzerland), Wednesday evening.
Kennedy (26) rose a centimeter higher than in Budapest (4.90 m), where she shared the title of world champion with American Katie Moon last Wednesday. She is still improving her personal record.
Moon placed second (4.81m), after missing out at 4.86m, then failing at 4.91m, and two at 4.96m.
In this unusual setting, the French Margot Chevrier did not manage to cross any bar (three failures at 4.36 m).
The women’s pole vault event was organized on a temporary jumper installed in the hall of Zurich station, on the eve of the Diamond League meeting in the prestigious Letzigrund stadium. It is considered an indoor competition.
In 2023 indoors, it is Moon who has risen the highest so far, at 4.83 m in February in Liévin (France).
