Marie-Julie Bonnin Wins Historic Gold at World Indoor Pole Vault Championship

The 23-year-old cleared 4.75 meters in Nanjing, becoming the first Frenchwoman to claim the title and equaling the national record.

Marie-Julie Bonnin secured gold at the 2025 World Indoor Championships in Nanjing with a jump of 4.75 meters, equaling the French national record.
She is the first Frenchwoman to win a world indoor pole vault title, marking a historic achievement for French athletics.
Bonnin defeated Slovenia's Tina Sutej and Switzerland's Angelica Moser, who both cleared 4.70 meters, to claim victory.
The competition faced a 30-minute delay due to technical issues with the equipment, but Bonnin adapted by using a new, stiffer pole for her winning jump.
This victory follows her bronze medal at the European Indoor Championships earlier this season, highlighting her consistent progression.
