On March 19, Beijing time, in the second competition day of the 2022 Indoor Athletics World Championships held in Belgrade, the women's pole vault final, the American star Morris 4 meters 80 won the championship, the United States' Nagoute 4 meters 75 ranked second, Slovenia's Sute 4 meters 75 ranked third, and mainland China's Xu Huiqin ranked seventh at 4 meters 45 meters.
The final round was very exciting, two American athletes competed for the championship and runner-up, Rio Olympic runner-up Morris jumped 4 meters 80 meters, Tokyo Olympic champion Nagueot skipped 4 meters 75, and Morris won the championship. At the same time, Slovenia's Suter also successfully challenged at a height of 4 meters 75, and in the end, by comparing the number of times he tried to jump at a height of 4 meters 70, Nagoot was less than Sute, Nagoot won the silver medal, and Suter won the bronze medal. Xu Huiqin, a mainlander who has received more attention from everyone, has failed to challenge the height of 4 meters and 60 meters three times in a row, and finally ranked seventh.
After winning the title, Morris became the first athlete to defend her title after Isinbayeva. Isinbayeva is the best female pole vaulter in the world, a legend in the history of athletics, and a pole vault queen in the hearts of many! As one of the best players in the history of women's pole vaulting, she has set a world record of 5.05 meters with great difficulty, and years have passed, and no one has broken it. As the second defending indoor champion, Morris, although there is a gap compared with Isinbayeva, is still a strong player among active athletes, ranking very high.
Morris's first World Championships triumph was at the 2018 Indoor Athletics World Championships in Birmingham, England, where she successfully challenged a height of 4.95 meters and won the championship, defeating Sidorova, a Russian who was very strong at the time. In the same year, at the IAAF Diamond League, she won the women's pole vault championship in Doha and Oslo respectively. Her journey has not been smooth, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the competition encountered weather problems, Morris after the rain to make the first jump, but the pole off the hand broke, as one of the favorite players to win the championship, she failed to reach the final, and almost suffered serious injuries. Winning gold in this competition is also of great significance to her, and Tokyo's regrets have been made up this time.
The women's pole vault event at the Indoor Athletics World Championships has come to an end, congratulations to Morris for winning the championship! We also believe that Chinese young player Xu Huiqin will be able to adjust her state after experiencing this competition, and wish her the ideal result in the outdoor competition!
