Lisa Gunnarsson

Lisa Ulrika Gunnarsson (born 20 August 1999) is a Swedish athlete who specialises in the pole vault.

Gunnarsson had a natural talent for pole vaulting and cleared 2.40 metres in her very first competition on 27 April.

When asked what she thinks is the key to her rapid improvement in the event, Gunnarsson answered that she is very grateful of her gymnastics background which has provided her with the strength and flexibility required for pole vaulting.

Gunnarsson has previously attended a school in Nantes, but in October 2016 she decided to move back to Paris, to be closer to her parents who live there.

In 2016, Gunnarsson attended INSEP, a national training institute for elite athletes, where she was coached by Alain Donias.
