The women's pole vault at the 2015 World Championships in Athletics was held at the Beijing National Stadium on 24 and 26 August.[1][2] 2013 Champion and world record holder Yelena Isinbayeva did not defend her title having given birth to her first child in 2014.

Fourteen athletes qualified at 4.55, but two were unable to get over the opening height of 4.50 in the finals.

National Record. Having no strategic advantage to clearing it with one miss, she passed to 4.90. Everybody missed their first two attempts at 4.90, making Kyriakopoulou the bronze medalist. On her final attempt, Silva made it, to leap past Murer into gold medal position. Murer was unable to answer on her final attempt and had to settle for silver. Murer was pleased to win a medal in Beijing seven years after the 2008 Olympics, where she underperformed following her poles being misplaced by the organization, and became optimistic for the 2016 Summer Olympics at her own Brazil, when she will have to set a masters world record to be in the medal hunt.[3][4]
