MARNIE HOLLEY – THE FIRST POLE-VAULTER AMONG THE FITNESS STARS

When I was going through the Competitor’s Information Forms collected during the athletes’ registration at the recent World Women’s Championships in Santa Susanna, I noticed, with surprise, that one fitness competitor practised pole-vaulting at national level.

There is one tall classic bodybuilder in the IFBB, Bjorn Vestrum Olsson from Norway, who competed in high jumping but Marnie Holley is the first IFBB competitor with the pole-vaulting experience. She was also doing gymnastics and diving, so has had a comprehensive background for performing fitness at top level.
