It is immediately clear to the fans and the many athletes at the World Indoor Championships that these are not cries of disappointment because of a failed jump. Pole vaulter Margot Chevrier (24) lies on the mat and screams in pain. It soon becomes clear that the Frenchwoman has seriously injured herself – she severely twisted her left foot when she stopped her jump, the photos with her unnaturally turned inward shoe and the blood speak for themselves.
Chevrier still needs to receive medical attention while he is on the mat and the competition is suspended immediately. After her fourth place in the World Cup, participant Angelica Moser (26) said on SRF about the shock moment surrounding her opponent: “It was very annoying to have to see something like that. I get along really well with her, so it hurts even more. I really hope she gets better soon. It was difficult for us because we went through everything and then had to wait.”
She still wants to compete in the home Olympics
In the event of a broken ankle, the pole vaulter is carried out of the room on a stretcher and then taken to the hospital. The first operation will be carried out in Glasgow and a second operation is already planned for the return home. Ultimately, Chevrier is still in eighth place in the World Cup due to the height he has already jumped.
This is little consolation given the sudden uncertainty over whether it will be possible to participate in the career highlight, the Olympic Games on home soil. But she wants to fight for the Olympics at home: a story on her Insta profile shows Chevrier in the hospital bed writing with a felt-tip pen “Paris ’24, I’m jumping!’ wrote on his thigh. She writes: “Whatever it takes, I will be there in Paris.”
