Hello, everyone! Today, I’m thrilled to shine a spotlight on one of Spain’s rising stars in athletics—Gemma Tamarit, a talented young pole vaulter whose dedication and progress have captured the attention of fans and coaches alike. Let’s take a closer look at her performances at the Spanish Indoor Under-18 Championships in both 2023 and 2024, and celebrate her journey as an emerging force in the sport.
In 2023, Gemma entered the national indoor competition as the athlete to watch. At just 16 years old, she was already ranked number one going into the championship, carrying with her an impressive personal best of 1.71 meters. Confident and focused, she aimed to surpass her record that day with a bold attempt at 1.76 meters. It was a high-stakes moment that showed her ambition and drive. Though she came up short on her final attempt and did not set a new personal record, her performance still reinforced her status as one of the most promising young athletes in Spanish pole vaulting.
What’s remarkable about Gemma is not just her athletic skill, but her resilience and determination to improve. That became even more evident in the 2024 Spanish Indoor Under-18 Championships, where she returned stronger, more experienced, and more focused than ever. This time, the stakes were higher and the field more competitive, but Gemma rose to the occasion. She secured third place overall with a solid vault of 3.50 meters—a significant improvement over the previous year. What’s more, she made a bold second attempt at clearing 3.60 meters, a height that just a year earlier might have seemed out of reach. Although she didn’t clear it, her attempt was a testament to how far she had come in just 12 months.
Watching Gemma compete is watching passion in motion. Her technique, her composure under pressure, and her steady progression speak volumes about her work ethic and potential. These championship appearances have not only marked milestones in her career but have also set the stage for what’s to come as she prepares for the 2025 indoor athletics season. With every vault, she edges closer to breaking through even higher barriers.
