Pole vault
“Simply crazy!” Rauter is U20 vice world champion
Austria's Magdalena Rauter won silver in the pole vault in Lima on Thursday (local time), the third ÖLV medal in 20 editions in the 38-year history of the U20 World Championships in athletics.
The 18-year-old cleared 4.15 m on her first attempt in the final, keeping Australia's Tryphena Hewet at bay. The US-American Molly Haywood was untouchable with 4.47 m.
"I was hoping I could maybe go for bronze, but now silver and best European," said a jubilant Rauter, an athlete from ATSV Innsbruck. "It's just crazy, I still can't believe it. Of course I'm very proud of that." The only previous U20 medals for red-white-red were won by heptathlete Sarah Lagger with gold in Bydgoszcz in Poland in 2016 and silver in Tampere in 2018
