Suhr 475
ROCHESTER (USA, Dec 27): Olympic Champion Jenn Suhr cleared 475 cm on Sunday at the Upstate NY Holiday Classic indoor meet. She plans next to jump in Buffalo on December 29. Her coach and husband Rick Suhr on his facebook post said that: “This will be Jenn’s kick-off campaign for the Rio Olympics Games.”

Editor’s note: Jenn Suhr is the 2012 Olympic champion, 2013 silver medalist in World Champs and fourth in 2015 World Champs. The Suhrs always compete to win. They are not competing for a medal, they are competing for the gold medal.

If Jenn Suhr can stay healthy, which means keeping her legs and achilles strong, she is more than capable of dueling with the best in the world.

Note: Jenn Suhr has already cleared 4.80 meters in December.
