From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Doris Auer (born 10 May 1971) is an Austrian pole vaulter. Her personal best is 4.40 metres (outdoors), achieved in September 2000 in Runaway Bay. This is the current Austrian record. Indoors her best is 4.44 metres, achieved in Glasgow 2001. The 2001 indoors best list was led by Stacy Dragila with 4.70 metres. In the same year the current world champion Yelena Isinbayeva recorded 4.45 indoors.

After 2001 Auer's performance stagnated. In 2002 she resigned from competitive sports but continued to practice pole vaulting as a respectable amateur. Currently she is a full time high school teacher of sports in Vienna, Austria. She holds a university degree in sports and history.
