She was described by one athletics commentator as a "tall, fast and athletic" pole vaulter, and she has seen good success in European Championships as well as being a constant presence in the world yearly rankings of pole vaulters, placing among the top 10 vaulters in recent years.

She is the younger sister of fellow pole vaulter Anastasija Reiberger (Nastja Ryjikh). She is coached by her father Vladimir Ryzih.[1]

Biography

[edit]

She won at the 2003 World Youth Championships in Athletics and then set a personal best of 4.30 m for gold at the 2004 World Junior Championships in Athletics at the age of 15. She attempted to be the first athlete to win consecutive titles at the 2005 World Youth Championships, but she managed only 4.05 m for fifth place.[2] Ryzih was the favourite to retain her title at the 2006 World Junior Championships in Athletics but failed to clear the opening height in the final after three attempts.[3]

Ryzih was fourth at the 2007 European Athletics Junior Championships and also won gold at the 2009 European Under-23 Athletics Championships in the women's pole vault in Kaunas. On 30 July 2010, she recorded a personal best of 4.65 m at the 2010 European Athletics Championships in Barcelona. This gained her the bronze medal, the first international medal of her senior career.

She competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics, finishing in joint 6th with a jump of 4.45 m.[4] The following year, she finished in 8th at the World Championships, with a jump of 4.55 m.[5] The following year, she missed out on a European level medal by countback, jumping the same height (4.60 m) as both the silver and bronze medalists at the 2014 European Championships. She reached the final, but finished last, at the 2015 World Championships.[5] At the 2016 European Championships, she won a silver with a season's best jump of 4.70 m.[6] Later, in August, she reached another Olympic final at Rio 2016.[5]

In Feb. 2017 Lisa Ryzih competed in German Indoor Championships in Leipzig where she got the first place with a jump of 4.65m, with the silver and bronze medals going to 4.40 and 4.30m, respectively.[7] She participated in 2017 Belgrade European's Indoor Athletics meet in 4 March as a top contender and finished second place and getting silver medal with a jump of 4.75m, setting a new indoor personal best.[8]
