Note: Former gymnast who did 1.65 in the HJ first year as an athlete at age 17. This inspired to give the HJ a serious try but
a persistent foot injury prevented jumping at full force.
Just as a pastime while the injury healed started playing around with the PV (despite having a PB two cm lower than in the
HJ ...) and in first ever ”real” PV competition on 29 May '99 cleared 3.40.
