Wilma Anna Helena Murto (born 11 June 1998 Kuusjoki) is a Finnish pole vaulter. She won the gold medal at the 2022 European Athletics Championships in Munich with a jump of 4.85 m (15 ft 10+3⁄4 in),[2] equalling the European championships record previously set by defending champion Katerina Stefanidi and setting a new Finnish record.[3]
Murto made her international debut at the 2014 World Junior Championships in Athletics at the age of sixteen. On 27 December 2015 she cleared a new best of 4.45 m (14 ft 7 in), which represented a European youth best (under-18s).[4] On 31 January 2016 Murto set a new indoor world junior record (under-20s) in Zweibrücken, where she jumped 4.71 m (15 ft 5+1⁄4 in).[5] The result was also a new Finnish record, beating Minna Nikkanen's previous record by 11 centimetres (4.3 in).[6]
