Baranica Breaks Her Own National Record Again With 4.23m Pole Vault
She did it again. Same venue, five weeks later, another national record.
Baranica Elangovan cleared 4.23 metres on her third attempt at the Bhubaneswar Indoor Stadium on Sunday — bettering the 4.22m she’d set at the exact same venue in March. The Tamil Nadu athlete owns this record, and she keeps raising the bar herself.
“It was another good day for me,” she said.
It’s the kind of understated comment you’d expect from someone who’s now done this twice in a month. Baranica is 29. She’s not a youngster finding her feet — she’s an experienced athlete who’s still hitting new heights.
