Austrian woman becomes oldest to clear 4 meters in the pole vault

As recently as 1992, a jump of 4.05 meters (13-3 1/2) in the women’s vault was a world record. Now it’s commonplace for collegians. But 4-meter clearances are still the Holy Grail of masters track, and this month a 40-year-old Austrian became the oldest to jump that. She did it several times, according to the Eurovets: “Within 14 days the Austrian pole vaulter Doris Auer (LCC Wien) set again a new world record in pole vault in her age group W40. The first time Doris Auer jumped over 4m in Wien during a pole vault festival, now she improved her own world from 4.03 to 4.04 (13-3) during the national championships in Wels.”
