In Wednesday's Paris Olympic women's pole vault final, Canadian Alysha Newman secured a bronze medal finish in her first ever Olympic pole vault final. The bronze medal by Newman is the first medal won by any Canadian pole vaulter since William Halpenny took bronze in the men's competition at the 1912 Stockholm Olympic Games. Newman's finish also sets a new Canadian pole vaulting record by clearing a height of 4.85 meters. She finished at the same height as silver medalist Katie Moon, but had one more missed attempt than the American. © Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports For Newman, the bronze finish is a monumental accomplishment in her career after the 30-year old failed to qualify for the pole vault final in both the 2016 and 2020 Olympic Games.
