Only two per country for World Indoors, and WPV never got a wild card opportunity like some other countries did... so it would appear that Demi Payne is off the team...

... it would appear that Demi Payne is off the team...

That's too bad. According to http://www.iaaf.org/records/toplists/jumps/pole-vault/indoor/women/senior/2016, Demi's 4.90 was the 3rd best jump this year, going into this weekend's meets.

And according to all-athletics' rankings: http://www.all-athletics.com/current-rankings?gender=F&evtg=35, the USA is the only country with 3 in the top 12.

Greece is the only other country with multiple vaulters in the top 12.

So for World's on Thursday I guess we'll see 10 different countries represented, and no Demi Payne.

It doesn't seem fair, but those are the rules.
