Słodziak - Wojciechowski 5.91

[rainbowgirl28]

Really? I've never seen video that looks like a track stadium so I always assumed it was an exhibition.

I think it's a soccer stadium with a pole vault runway.

I think it's a polevault runway with a soccer stadium. Lazaro Borges was there.

Performances triumph over bad weather at Polish Champs – Daegu squad announced
Pawel Wojciechowski leapt to the top of the current world season list for the men’s Pole Vault in Szczecin, Poland last night (16) with a second time clearance at 5.91m. The previous best this season was 5.90m by Frenchman Renaud Lavillenie in Monaco on 22 July.

Wojciechowski, who came into the meeting as Polish season leader with 5.81m, surprised the spectators with his effort especially considering at the rain soaked national championships the previous weekend he had only managed to finish third with 5.60m.

Last night Wojciechowski was back in the groove with first time clearances at 5.60 and 5.75, before taking the 5.91 bar on his second try, a new national record, and then making two failed attempts at 6.01m before ending his competition.

Finishing with 5.50 but separated on countback were Igor Bychkov, second, and Brad Walker, third, with Hendrik Gruber and Anton Ivakin sharing fourth position also with 5.50m.

Wojciechowski is one of three male vaulters selected by Poland in their team for the 2011 IAAF World Championships, Daegu, Korea (27 Aug to 4 Sep) - Pawel Wojciechowski, Lukasz Michalski (5.72), Mateusz Didenkow (5.72).

I think it's a soccer stadium with a pole vault runway.

So a street vault without the street. I always call everything not in an actual track stadium a street vault.

I understand what you're saying and I agree with you, because you're right. But lets keep in mind and not under estimate that Lezaro Borges was there, that's all I'm saying.

Jockgrim was a street vault till about 8 years ago. For organisational reasons they then constructed the runway along the soccer field.

Wouldn't it be interesting to see Wojciechowski, Lazaro Borges medal in 2012 -6P

6P called it too, just off by a year
