In autumn 2017 she began studying business administration at the University of Bern . Her father is Severin Moser , a former decathlete , her mother Monika Moser, a former heptathlete . Angelica's older sister Jasmine is also a pole vaulter.

Career

In 2013 Angelica Moser celebrated her first international success. At the European Youth Olympic Festival she won gold with 4.07 m. In 2014 she won the Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing with a height of 4.36 m . At the end of 2014 she announced her move from LV Winterthur to LC Zurich , where her high jump trainer Herbert Czingon was hired.

In 2015, Moser retired from qualifying at the European Indoor Championships in Prague . A victory at the Junior European Championships in Eskilstuna was followed by a preliminary round at the World Championships in Beijing .

In 2016 in Dornbirn it reached the required minimum height for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro at 4.50 m. At the European Championships in Amsterdam in 2016 , she reached the final and finished in 7th place. At the Junior World Championships in Bydgoszcz she won the gold medal. She is only the second Swiss junior world champion after Anita Weyermann . At the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro , however, she did not qualify for the final. But she surpassed the 27th place her father had achieved in 1988 as a decathlete.

In 2017 she achieved eleventh place in the final at the European Indoor Championships in Belgrade with a jump of 4.40 m. At the U23 European Championships in Bydgoszcz , Poland , she won the gold medal with a skipped 4.55 m and thus clearly prevailed against Maryna Kylypko from Ukraine. At the World Championships in London , she was eliminated with 4.50 m in qualification .

In 2018 she had to take a break for several months due to a foot injury. She then became Swiss champion, but was eliminated from the qualification at the European Championships in Berlin .

In 2019, she only narrowly missed the bronze medal at the European Championships - because of one more failed attempt. Like two years before, she became the U23 European champion and was then able to qualify for the final at the World Championships in Doha for the first time. There she jumped the entry height of 4.50 m, but then failed on the height of 4.70, which was above her personal best. In the end she finished in 13th place.
