Švábíková’s perfomance
Švábíková’s 2025 outdoor season has been marked by consistency and ambition. Her personal best of 4.80 meters places her in elite company, and her silver medal at the European Indoor Championships in Apeldoorn, along with a fifth-place finish at the World Indoors in Nanjing, adds to her growing résumé.
A bronze medalist at the 2023 European Indoor Championships, Švábíková continues to showcase elite form and composure under pressure. Her performances echo the promise she showed when she claimed multiple European U23 titles and shattered Czech national records.
With the World championships in Tokyo on horizon, she hopes to fine-tune her form. Menwhile, Tina Šutej of Slovenia, a European Indoor silver medalist and 4.80m vaulter, took third with 4.56 meters. A familiar name on the Diamond League circuit. Šutej has long been considered one of the most consistent vaulters in Europe.
