She finished tenth at the 2008 Summer Olympics with a vault of 4.50 m, unable to scale the heights that she had in June.
She holds the South American record in the event with an indoor best of 4.82 m and an outdoor best of 4.85 m, making her the fourth highest vaulter ever. Murer represented Brazil at the 2008 Summer Olympics. Murer set an outdoor personal best of 4.80 metres in June 2008 in São Paulo Paulo.
This was a South American record.
During the competition, the organization lost one of Murer"s poles, causing her to underperform as she spent over 10 minutes trying to get the pole back. She improved her outdoor record to 4.82 m in June 2009 at the Troféu Brasil Caixa de Atletismo meet.
She made the jump en route to winning her fifth Brazilian championships in the event, breaking the area record for the eleventh time and placing joint sixth in the all-time lists. She competed at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics in Berlin but she failed to match her early season form, finishing with a best clearance of 4.55 m.
She improved to 4.60 m at the 2009 IAAF World Athletics Final, winning the silver medal.
At the 2010 IAAF World Indoor Championships, Murer took advantage of Yelena Isinbayeva"s failure at 4.75 m and continued at 4.80 m, clearing first time and winning her first global championships. She further improved her outdoor record in June to 4.85 m at the 2010 Ibero-American Championships in San Fernando, Spain. This mark placed her as the fourth greatest pole vaulter on the all-time lists, and she then attempted 4.93 m, but failed three times.
She was dominant on the 2010 IAAF Diamond League circuit, winning three out of the six diamond race events.
She retained her national title at the Troféu Brasil de Atletismo, vaulting 4.70 m to bring a close to her season. Despite high expectations for the 2012 Summer Olympics, Murer did not qualify for the finals.
She failed on the first two attempts for 4.55 m, and gave up on the last complaining about unfavorable wind conditions. Up until 2015, Murer"s post-Olympics performances were underwhelming.
Then she earned a silver medal at both the 2015 Pan American Games and the 2015 World Championships in Athletics, surpassed only by the Cuban Yarisley Silva.
In the latter, Murer reached again her personal best of 4.85 m. All information taken from IAAF Profile.
