She was active during the early stages of the formal acceptance of women's pole vault into international programmes by the International Association of Athletics Federations. She briefly held the world record for the event, with a clearance of 4.18 m (13 ft 8 1⁄2 in) in August 1995. The former holder, Daniela Bártová, improved upon that the same month.[1]
