After her terrible accident at the World Athletics Championships in Glasgow, French pole vaulter Margot Chevrier has set her sights on the Olympic Games. “Paris 2024, I will jump,” read the message written on her thigh. The 24-year-old posted this picture on her Instagram profile on Sunday night.
Her shocking injury shocked the spectators at the World Indoor Championships. During her failed attempt, Chevrier allowed herself to sink over 4.65 meters to the mat and sprained her foot. She suffered an open fracture in her ankle.
