National Pole Vault mark alludes both men and women

Both Pole Vault competitions saw the bar raised to national record heights, but this time it was too much for both the men and women.

In the men's competition 30-year-old national record holder Zhang Hongwei made three tries at 5.65m after winning the competition at 5.50m. This was a very important moment for Zhang Hongwei, who has not been at his best since a motorcycle accident in Beijing in February of 2001. Zhang Hongwei's national record stands at 5.63m from May 2000 and he will have good competition during this season from the 20-year-old Liu Feiliang, who has jumped 5.45m this season (5.50 indoors) and holds the indoor national record at 5.60m from 2004.

Asian women’s record holder Gao Shuying raised the bar to 4.53m in her event, but made three unsuccessful attempts at this height. Gao Shuying won the competition with a first-time clearance at 4.45m, Yang Jing and Australian Katrina Miroshnichenko recorded personal bests of 4.30m and 4.15m for second and third places respectively.
