Bruni in 2022.

Roberta Bruni (born 8 March 1994) is an Italian pole vaulter. She competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics and 2024 Summer Olympics, in pole vault. ^[1] Her personal best of 4.73 m is the Italian record for the event.

Career

Her personal best indoor (4.60 m) is the second best junior performance of all-time after the world record of the Swedish Angelica Bengtsson, ^[2] established at the 2013 Italian Athletics Indoor Championships. ^[3]

Her height of 4.35 m established on 16 June 2012 in Misano Adriatico was the third best by a junior athlete that year. ^{[4] [5]} She is a friend of fellow Italian pole vaulter Giorgia Benecchi.

In 2021, she participated in the Tokyo Olympics, but failed to make it past the qualifying stages stopping at 4.25m. ^[6]

In 2022, she participated in the World Championships in Eugene and the European Championships in Munich. In Eugene, she failed to qualify for the final after jumping 4.35 m on her second attempt and failing to clear 4.50 m. ^[7] In Monaco, she reached the final and finished the European championships in seventh place with a measure of 4.55 m, jumped on her third attempt. ^[8]

In 2023, after a lower-than-expected World Championships in Budapest (in which she failed to pass the qualifying round), she set a new Italian record in Chiari on September 4, with a measure of 4.73 m. ^{[9] [10]}

National records

• Pole vault outdoor: 4.73 m (Chiari, Italy, 4 September 2023) - Current holder ^[11]
• Pole vault indoor: 4.70 m (Clermont-Ferrand, France, 28 February 2025) - Current holder

Progression

Starting with the 2022 season – when World Athletics adopted the current World Rankings system – events such as pole vault, high jump, long jump, triple jump and shot put will have a single seasonal ranking, which includes both outdoor and indoor performances, rather than two separate lists.
