Her personal best is 4.40 metres (outdoors), achieved in September 2000 in Runaway Bay.
In the same year the former world champion Yelena Isinbayeva recorded 4.45 indoors.
In 2002, she resigned from competitive sports but continued to practise pole vaulting as a respectable amateur.
Remarkable are her achievements in combining the career as an athlete with university studies and a profession literally simultaneously.
She holds a university degree in Sports Sciences and History and works as a high school teacher in Vienna, Austria.
