Kym Howe's Commonwealth Games record is also a new Australian record. She had earlier set the record at 4.61m, eclipsing Emma George's 17-year-old NR of 4.60m, the world record of the time.

Samsu's 4.25m improves her own Malasian record, set last year at 4.20m.

Make that George's 7-year-old world record, not 17. (I don't do math before noon on Saturdays.) Emma set the record at 4.60m on 20 February 1999, Dragila tied it on 21 September of that year, then improved it to 4.62 in an indoor meet the following year.

Sorry 'bout that.
