Roberta Bruni (born 8 March 1994) is an Italian pole vaulter. She competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics and 2024 Summer Olympics, in pole vault. Her personal best of 4.73 m is the Italian record for the event.
Her personal best indoor (4.60 m) is the second best junior performance of all-time after the world record of the Swedish Angelica Bengtsson, established at the 2013 Italian Athletics Indoor Championships.
Her height of 4.35 m established on 16 June 2012 in Misano Adriatico was the third best by a junior athlete that year. She is a friend of fellow Italian pole vaulter Giorgia Benecchi.
In 2021, she participated in the Tokyo Olympics, but failed to make it past the qualifying stages, stopping at 4.25m.
In 2022, she participated in the World Championships in Eugene and the European Championships in Munich. In Eugene, she failed to qualify for the final after jumping 4.35 m on her second attempt and failing to clear 4.50 m. In Monaco, she reached the final and finished the European championships in seventh place with a measure of 4.55 m, jumped on her third attempt.
In 2023, after a lower-than-expected World Championships in Budapest (in which she failed to pass the qualifying round), she set a new Italian record in Chiari on September 4, with a measure of 4.73 m.
Starting with the 2022 season â when World Athletics adopted the current World Rankings system â events such as pole vault, high jump, long jump, triple jump and shot put will have a single seasonal ranking, which includes both outdoor and indoor performances, rather than two separate lists.
