Annika Roloff (born March 10, 1991 in Holzminden , Lower Saxony ) is a German athlete who specializes in the triple jump . Until the 2018 indoor season she started in the pole vault and also competed in hurdles and long jump .

career path

Roloff graduated from the Campe-Gymnasium Holzminden in 2010 and moved to Hanover in 2012. At the beginning of 2016, they completed their bachelor's degree and studied sport and English for teaching at the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz University in Hanover .

Athletic career

Even in elementary school, Roloff regularly had a stick in hand and jumped 1.66 m in her first competition at the age of six. In 2002 she made her first jump with the stick over 3 meters. Gradually, alongside Northern German and Lower Saxony championship titles, Roloff became German U18 champion in 2008 and German U20 runner-up in the hall in 2009 .

In 2011 Roloff won bronze at the U23 European Championships in Ostrava , was German U23 champion and reached 5th place in the German championships among the active players .

In 2012 Roloff was able to secure the U23 championship again and in 2013 the runner-up championship, both among the juniors (U23) and among the athletes in the hall .

During her semester abroad in the USA at the University of Akron ( Ohio ), Roloff was able to become the first non-American NCAA champion in pole vault in Eugene (Oregon) in 2014 ; before that, with a personal best, she had already finished 3rd at the NCAA indoor championships in Albuquerque ( New Mexico ).

In 2015, Roloff came 4th at the German Indoor Championships and won the title at the German University Championships for the third time.

In 2016 she became German university runner-up. Previously, Roloff had jumped a new personal best with 4.50 m in a test competition at the training camp in Belek near Antalya at the end of April and was the first German female pole vaulter to achieve the standard for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro . At the German Championships she came third with another personal best of 4.55 m. At the pole vault meeting at Landau Obertorplatz at the end of June, she increased her personal best to 4.60 m. In August she took part in the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro , where she was eliminated in qualification with 4.45 meters.

In 2017 Roloff became German indoor runner-up in Leipzig and came in tenth at the European Indoor Championships in Belgrade and 5th at the German Championships . In mid-July she was nominated by the General German University Sports Association (adh) for the Summer Universiade in Taipei , where she had to be satisfied with the silver medal. Roloff missed the 4.45 m while in second place, which was probably a tactical mistake, because Iryna Schuk , who was in the lead, had three failed attempts above this height. With a jump of 4.45 m, Roloff would have won gold, but now had to conquer 4.50 m, which she couldn't.

In 2018 Roloff wanted to tackle the increase of her record of 4.60 m again, but muscular problems prevented this. In winter she made the decision not to finish with athletics, but to look for a new challenge. This was based on her own knowledge that she lacks a few centimeters in height for a permanent presence in the world elite, a fact that had an effect on the technique and the choice of staff length. Your choice of the triple jump.

Roloff was in the squad of the German Athletics Association (DLV) from 2006 to 2017 . Despite meeting the standard, she was no longer approved for the federal squad.
