Nina Kennedy endured a horror 2021 campaign. But she's bounced back in incredible fashion at the World Athletics Championships. 🤩 Oregon22
Incredibly, she then cleared 4.60m with her first vault.
Nina Kennedy of Team Australia competes in the women's pole vault final on day three of the World Athletics Championships in Oregon. "I'm so happy with a bronze. It definitely gives me confidence going into the next few years ahead," Kennedy said."I think as athletes we are so used to wanting more but I'm going to soak this up. A bronze medal on the world stage is absolutely incredible and I think I'm going to enjoy this feeling for the next few days and next few weeks."
Last year she cleared an Australian record 4.82m while preparing for the Tokyo Games. But in the process she tore her calf muscle, and then suffered an adductor injury, then a quadricep as well.
