Anthony Ammirati (born 16 July 2003) is a French athlete who specializes in pole vaulting. He was the gold medalist at the World Athletics U20 Championships in 2022.

Career

In June 2021, he set a new national record under-20 with 5.72m in Salon-de-Provence.[1] The following month, he won the gold medal at the U20 European championships in Tallinn with a jump of 5.64m.[2]

During the U20 world championships in Cali, he became world champion with a jump of 5.65m at his second attempt. He then improved his personal best with 5.75m. On August 31, 2022, he broke the French junior pole vault record for the third time in Sankt-Wendel with a jump of 5.81m. He became the second performer in the history of the category behind Armand Duplantis, who vaulted 6.05m in 2018.[citation needed]

Ammirati qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics; however, he failed to advance to the finals when he didn’t successfully execute the clearance phase of the vault.
