Sisters Sukhnoor and Khushnoor Rangi who represented Australia in the 2024 Oceania Athletics Championship in U18 Pole Vault have won Gold and Silver medal respectively.
The twin sisters from Melbourne are counted amongst the top female pole vaulters in the under-18 category, both in Australia and globally, and are making a significant impact in the athletics world.
Born to Indian migrant parents Manpreet Kaur and Navdeep Singh Rangi, Sukhnoor owns a personal best of 3.70m, whilst Khushnoor has cleared heights of 3.50m.
Earlier, at the Australian Track and Field 2024 event in Adelaide, both Sukhnoor and Khushnoor showcased their competitive spirit.
Sukhnoor participated in both the U20 and U18 age groups, winning Gold in the U18 category and Silver in the U20 category.
Although Khushnoor had a challenging start in the U20 competition, she overcame the pressure in the U18 event and secured a Silver medal.
Australia’s established and emerging stars participated in one of the most important opportunities including the strong Victorian contingent.
The championships were held in Suva, Fiji from 1-9 June 2024.
