Piotr Lisek (born August 16, 1992 in Duszniki ) is a Polish pole vaulter .

Athletic career

Lisek tested positive for methylhexanamine at the Polish Championships in 2012 and was banned for six months for doping . In 2013 he became Polish indoor champion in pole vault and was then nominated for the European Indoor Championships in Gothenburg . There he missed the finals as twelfth in qualification. Also at the U23 European Championships in Tampere in the same year he was eliminated prematurely. In 2014 he finished sixth at the European Championships in Zurich with a jump of 5.65 m.

In February 2015 Lisek improved the Polish indoor record at the International Springer Meeting in Dessau-Roßlau to 5.87 m. Shortly afterwards he won the Polish Indoor Championships for the second time. A week later, at the international pole vault meeting in the Werre Park in Bad Oeynhausen, he succeeded in further increasing his indoor record to 5.90 m. At the European Indoor Championships in Prague , he won the bronze medal with a jump of 5.85 m. He also finished third at the World Championships in Beijing . He shared this with his compatriot Paweł Wojciechowski and the French Renaud Lavillenie , who, like him, reached a height of 5.80 m.

In 2016 Lisek won the bronze medal at the World Indoor Championships in Portland with a skipped 5.75 m. At the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro he reached the shared fourth place with the same height.

In January 2017, Lisek jumped 5.92 m at the jumpers' meeting in Cottbus, setting a new personal best and at the same time a new Polish national record.

On February 4, 2017, just ten days after his new best performance, Lisek again increased his personal and the Polish national record by 8 cm to 6.00 m. At the 2017 European Indoor Championships , Lisek won the gold medal with 5.85 meters. At the 2017 World Championships in London , Lisek won the silver medal in the pole vault final behind Sam Kendricks and ahead of Renaud Lavillenie .
