With her position at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest all but locked away, the 25-year-old will jump off 12 steps in her first competition since September, with an emphasis on regaining the confidence and form that saw her stocks soar in 2022. Winning her first global medal before coasting to Commonwealth gold and the Diamond League title, the Australian record holder’s career-best year could only be dampened by a stress fracture in her back upon returning home. The three best female pole vaulters in the world as indicated by the 2022 World Athletics Championships podium are set to reunite in Doha, with bronze medallist Nina Kennedy (Paul Burgess and James Fitzpatrick) poised for a rematch with the United Sates duo of Katie Moon and Sandi Morris. The 2023 Diamond League can be viewed in Australia live and free via the Diamond League YouTube channel, with the full start list and timetable to be found HERE.
The countdown is on for the return of the world’s premier annual athletics series which begins at Friday’s Doha Diamond League, with eight Australians to feature led by triple Australian champion Jessica Hull and the return of global bronze medallist Nina Kennedy.
