Laura Zialor (born 4 August 1998) is an English international athlete.[1] In 2022, she represented Great Britain at the World Championships and European Championships, and England at the Commonwealth Games.[1][2]
Biography[edit]
Zialor was educated at the University of Birmingham[3] and won the British indoor high jump title in 2022. She recorded a personal best of 1.91 metres in May 2022.[4] She had previously won the silver medal at the 2021 British Athletics Championships.[5]
In 2022, she was selected for the women's high jump event at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.[1][4]
In 2023, she was selected for the British team for the 2023 European Athletics Team Championships held in Chorzów, Silesia, Poland between 20 and 25 June 2023.[6] Unfortunately, she injured her Achilles whilst competing at the event and had to crowdfund to cover the cost of private surgery as UK Athletics claimed to not be liable, a loophole Zialor campaigned to change.[7]
