BIRMINGHAM (GBR): New ZealandÂ´s pole vault Olympic medalist Eliza McCartney has confirmed there are no broken bones and she’s planning on seeing the season out, after she was forced to retire from the Diamond League event in Birmingham with an injured heel. McCartney was on just her second jump of the day, trying again to clear 4.20m, when the mishap happened. Her coach, Jeremy McColl, said she stalled in the jump and had her feet get tangled, then came down on the track by the box, jamming her heel on impact. A few hours later she took to Instagram to confirm the injury was some heavy soft tissue bruising. Informs NZ media.

How I am smiling in these photos even eludes me! I really could not make ends meet in the horrific wind today and ended up in the box on my opening height. Thankfully the damage isn’t too bad, no broken bones at least just some heavy soft tissue bruising. It might take a bit of time to recover but at the moment I’m still planning on seeing the season out. Back to the crutches we go ðŸ™ƒ Also thank you to all the girls for their support â¤ï¸ Tough day at the office but everyone did so well to get jumps out in those conditions. ðŸ“¸: @jeffcohenphoto
