Angelica Moser Explained
Angelica Moser (born 9 October 1997) is a Swiss athlete whose specialty is pole vaulting. She was born on October 9th, 1997 in Texas (USA), but grew up in Andelfingen in the Zürcher Weinland together with her parents and sister Jasmine. Angelica started her athletic career in gymnastics at 3 years old, and still does weekly gymnastic sessions in Frauenfeld even today. Additionally, she got in contact with athletics at an early age, because her mother was and still is working as a coach.

As a remarkable athlete, she has achieved numerous accolades throughout her career; she won the 2021 European Championships in Toruń, and placed fourth at the 2024 Summer Olympics. Her personal bests in the event are 4.88 metres outdoors (Monaco 2024) and 4.75 metres indoors (Toruń 2021).[3]
