Jacqueline Otchere (born May 5, 1996 in Heidelberg ) is a German athlete who specializes in the pole vault .

career path

Otchere is a life sciences student at Heidelberg University .

Athletic career

At the age of eight, Otchere had started athletics together with her brothers Julian and Colin at ASV Eppelheim near Heidelberg , and the siblings soon switched to MTG Mannheim , where Jacqueline started as a sprint and jump student in the W14 and W15 age groups stood on the podium of the German Block Championships. However, the services then stagnated.

When she had problems with her shin in 2015 and could not go to the training camp with the MTG Mannheim sprint group , but wanted to keep fit, her brother Julian, who was two years younger, had success with his suggestion to take her to pole vault training.

Until the end of 2016, it increased cautiously and never made the standard for the German Youth Championships . At the end of the year Otchere was not among the top 40 in the DLV best list.

In 2017 Otchere came 8th at the German Indoor University Championship in Frankfurt-Kalbach . Outdoors, it improved by 70 centimeters to 4.30 m over the course of the year. At the German Junior Championships U23 in Leverkusen she finished 5th and took 6th place at the German Championships in Erfurt . In the German ranking, she improved to twelfth place.

In 2018 Otchere took 5th place at the German Indoor Championships in Dortmund . In Heilbronn she became German U23 champion with a personal best of 4.45 m and with this height she jumped the norm for the European Championships in Berlin . At the Athletics World Cup in London, she rose to 4.60 m. In Nuremberg Otchere became German champion and secured the nomination for the home European championships , where she was eliminated in qualification. At the end of the year she was the best German pole vaulter with a height of 4.60 m. Their rise in the world's best list was just as clear (2016: rank 778; 2017: rank 108; 2018: rank 23).

In 2019 Otchere did not have an indoor season, as a start at the European Indoor Championships in Glasgow was not the focus, instead long-term plans with a view to the Olympic Games in Tokyo . In the outdoor season, she won bronze at the German championships . In the summer she was slowed down by minor injuries and her studies.

Otchere was a junior squad (NK1 U23) of the German Athletics Association (DLV) at the beginning of the competitive sports reform 2017/18 and is now in the perspective squad .
