August 18, 2022

Wohoo! It was a golden night for our PUMA athletes at yesterday´s European Championship competitions in Munich. 🥇🥇🥇 With spectacular performances these athletes won a gold medal yesterday: Wilma Murto in the women’s high jump, Pedro Pichardo in the men’s triple jump final and Matthew Hudson-Smith over the 400m distance.

Congratulations from the entire PUMA family!

PUMA athlete Wilma Murto broke the Finnish record three times on her way to a shock victory in the women’s pole vault competition yesterday at the European Championships.

Six years after setting the world junior record, the 24-year-old who had arrived in Munich with a season’s best of 4.60m in finishing sixth at the World Championships remarkably went over 4.75m and 4.80m at the first time of asking before equalling the championships record with a second-time clearance of 4.85m. WOW! 🤩
