Nadine Rohr

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nadine Rohr (born 29 June 1977) is a Swiss pole vaulter.

She finished thirteenth at the 2001 Summer Universiade, won the bronze medal at the 2003 Summer Universiade and the silver medal at the 2005 Summer Universiade. She also competed at the 2002 European Championships, the 2004 Olympic Games and the 2005 World Championships without reaching the final.[1]

Domestically, Rohr became Swiss champion every year from 1999–2001, 2003–2005 as well as 2008. Indoors, she took the Swiss title in every year from 2002 through 2006.[1]

Overcoming the 4-metre mark in 2001 and improving to 4.21 in 2002,[1] Rohr vaulted 4.30 metres in August 2003 in Baden. It was not accepted as a Swiss record because the "contact surface for the crossbar was too large".[2] Nonetheless, she finally achieved a legitimate 4.30 result in June 2004 in Geneva. 4.30 was also her season's best in 2005 and 2006 (indoors). Following a more mediocre 2007, Rohr cleared 4.40 metres in August 2008 in Fribourg.[1]
