Her height is a real asset, in the pole vaulting world—her long body frame plus a powerful stride sort of lets her reach up and attack the bar.

Clara Fernández Age — How Old Is She?

She started competing internationally at 15. And while a lot of athletes are still trying to get a grip on the senior level pace, Clara was already stacking national wins for quite a while.

Clara Fernández Early Life

She grew up in Sant Cugat del Vallès, a town north of Barcelona, in Catalonia. Early on it wasn’t one single track, she did gymnastics, triathlon, athletics and a mix of other pursuits, and later pole vault kind of became the main fixation.

She won the Spanish U16 Indoor Championships in pole vault in 2018, clearing 3.66m. Later that year she increased her personal best to 3.81m, then 3.85m — a Spanish U16 best. Wikipedia

That sort of progression, especially around 14, and 15, is unusual. It caught the attention of Spanish athletics coaches, and somehow it set the tone for what came next.

The Early Years — Building a Foundation

In 2019, Clara brought home a silver medal at the European Youth Olympic Festival in Baku, at just 15 years old. Also in 2019 she became the Spanish U18 champion, posting a Catalan U18 best of 3.91 metres. And yes, she cleared 4 metres for the first time.

Hitting 4 metres at 15 is a serious milestone, not many athletes even reach that before 18, honestly. She had this kind of early acceleration, really.

She held onto her Spanish U18 title in 2020, then later she made her debut at the senior national championships, finishing 9th in Madrid in September 2020.

Making Her Mark Internationally

Clara competed in her first major championship at the European Athletics U20 Championships in 2021. It was a noticeable leap in competitors, and she managed it decently, gaining hands-on experience against the top young vaulters in Europe. That kind of exposure really matters.

All in all, Clara Fernández has won more than 21 titles in pole vaulting since her professional career began in 2018. That is a crazy strong record for someone who is still only 22.

2025 — A New Personal Best

In February 2025, she kinda ended up second at the Spanish Indoor Athletics Championships, trailing Maialen Axpe, but at the same time she managed to put down a new personal best of 4.25 metres.

And yeah, that 4.25m personal best gets officially backed by World Athletics, reached on February 23, 2025. News Unzip

Then come July 2025, she actually won the pole vault at the outdoor Spanish U23 Championships in Badajoz, so you could say that momentum kept going. Wikipedia
