Pole vaulter Emmanouil Karalis wins Olympic bronze medal for Greece

·

Emmanouil (Manolo) Karalis clinched the bronze medal in pole vault at the Paris Olympic Games on Monday, August 5.

The Greek champion achieved a performance of 5.95 meters, securing third place and earning Greece its sixth medal (one silver and five bronze) at the Paris Olympics.

Manolo easily passed the 5.80 metre mark and was just as successful in clearing the 5.85 metre vault. He then continued on with the 5.90 metres, breaking his personal record of 5.87 metres. He failed in the 5.95 metre jump and went straight for the 6.00 metre but unfortunately didn’t make it.

Manolo showed significant improvement in his performance since the Tokyo Olympics, where he finished fourth.
