Katerina Stefanidi finishes 9th in women’s pole vault final

Greek pole vaulter Katerina Stefanidi did not win a medal in the women’s pole vault final at Paris 2024 on Wednesday, finishing in 9th place after failing to clear 4.80 meters.

Stefanidi started by clearing 4.40 meters on her second attempt, followed by successful clears of 4.60 and 4.70 meters on her first attempts. This performance suggested she could contend for an Olympic medal for the second time, having won gold in Rio eight years ago.

However, the 34-year-old was unable to surpass 4.80 meters in any of her three attempts, leading to her elimination from the final.

The final is still ongoing.
