Doris Auer

Doris Auer (born 10 May 1971) is an Austrian pole vaulter. Her personal best is 4.40 metres (outdoors), achieved in September 2000 in Runaway Bay. This was the Austrian record until 2014 when Kira Grünberg broke the record jumping 4.45. Indoors Auer's best is 4.44 metres, achieved in Glasgow 2001. In the same year the former world champion Yelena Isinbayeva recorded 4.45 indoors.

After 2001 Auer's performance stagnated. In 2002, she resigned from competitive sports but continued to practise pole vaulting as a respectable amateur. Remarkable are her achievements in combining the career as an athlete with university studies and a profession literally simultaneously. She holds a university degree in Sports Sciences and History and works as a high school teacher in Vienna, Austria.

gollark: I think this is one of those belief in belief things. Anyway, people can cheat and *not* record it, no?
gollark: The laws of physics/logic/etc do not forbid changing religion. You can also do the popular thing of "keeping" it but ignoring inconvenient bits.
gollark: Did you know? You are now breathing manually. That's what a thing like this would normally say, except that was actually just a distraction constructed to give some time for the cognitohazards to enter your brain. Enjoy!
gollark: The "fun" thing about is that OIR is actually served from an entirely separate part of osmarks.net and just happens to pull track info from the RSAPI because that was the best place I could find to fit it.
gollark: * radii, and maybe
