Isinbayeva,
Donetsk '08 |
DONETSK,
Ukraine (AFP) — Olympic champion Yelena Isinbayeva of Russia set a
new world indoor record in the women's pole vault here on Saturday
as she cleared the mark of four
metres 95 centimetres.
Her vault beat the previous mark of 4.93m which she set last year at
the same venue.
This was the third consecutive year in which 25-year-old Isinbayeva,
who has leaped 5.02
outdoors, broke the indoor mark in Donetsk.
"I'm very happy to start an Olympic season with a world record
in my first competition," said Isinbayeva, who won in Donetsk
for the fifth consecutive year.
In her first competition since October 3, Isinbayeva began her
competition with first attempt clearances at 4.67m and 4.77m, the
latter enough to seal the victory. She need three tries at 4.87m,
and after a pair of misses at 4.94m, she gambled and had the bar
raised to 4.95m. Russian
Yuliya Golubchikova finished second with a 4.72 clearance, with
Monica Pyrek of Poland third (4.67).

Mottram
and Hooker head indoors for world title chase.
06.02.2008.
(Extract
from Athletics
Australia, Fan Zone News.)
|
| A
strong six-member team led by Craig
Mottram and Steve
Hooker has been
selected to represent Australia in the 12th edition of the IAAF World
Indoor Championships next month.
Steve
Hooker’s 2008
Beijing campaign kicked off with a bang two weeks ago, clearing the
magical six-metre mark for the first time – only the 15th man in
history to do so.
His indoor escapades early last year resulted in a new Australian
indoor record of 5.81m in Boston and 5.80m at the Millrose Games in
New York. The 25 year-old will be making his debut at the World
Indoors in 2008. Russian Yevgeniy Lukyanenko launched himself 5.85m
last week and currently leads the world’s best list.

Steve
Hooker vaulted 6 metres today in Perth
27.01.2008, Athletics Australia |
Hooker
joins exclusive 6.00m vault club
28.01.08, International
Association of Athletics Foundation - Monaco |
Former world no.1 Steve
Hooker has joined the exclusive 6.00m club, clearing the magical
barrier in interclub competition in Perth.
 |
| Steven Hooker, Top of the
world in 2008 |
The 2006 Commonwealth Games champion and world cup winner was
returning to competition after a bout of glandular fever, making the
most of the ideal conditions at Perth’s Perry Lakes Stadium to
become the third Australian to reach the sought after height.
Hooker, 25, becomes the 15th man to clear
the height, and the third Australian behind Dmitri
Markov, who jumped 6.05m to win the world title in Edmonton in
2001, and Paul Burgess, who cleared 6.00m at
the same location in 2005.
Hooker is the 13th man to achieve the feat
outdoors and the first since reigning world champion Brad Walker
joined the 6.00m club in July 2006.
“It was my first comp of the year and we were treating it like an
extended training session.
“I cleared the opening height of 5.50 on my first attempt and then
went to 5.70, 5.80 and 5.90 before having a crack at 6.00m.
“The conditions were perfect and my first attempt was good, but I
needed to go up to a bigger pole, on my second I bailed and got it on
the third.
He will jump again in Perth next weekend, before heading to Melbourne
for the World Athletics Tour meeting on Thursday 21 February and the
Australian titles and Olympic selection trials in Brisbane (28 Feb –
1 Mar). He will then fly to Valencia, Spain, for the IAAF World Indoor
Championships (7-9 March).

King's Club Premiership - 27/10/2007 - Pole Vault at Campbelltown
Typical change of season head winds dictated a low performance first half of competition with Blake Lucas saving the day. Yet 2nd pb for David Green who, in good old fashion, doesn't care about the wind. The second half nevertheless, was definitely good for beginners with pb's all over. First comp and a good show for Jessie Driels from RBH and Benn Van Balen from Asics
Wests. Good to see Zsuzsa Szabo on the trail back too.

The day saw a strong performance from Blake Lucas (St Gregory's, Campbelltown
). Lucas jumped an impressive 4.75m in the Pole Vault before moving the bar up to 4.91m, which would have been a NSW U18 Record. Today was not to be the day that the record would fall, but Lucas has it within his sights as he attempts to clear 5.05m to qualify for the World Juniors.

We've Been Busy POLE VAULTING, how about you?
|
My apologies folks, but there isn't much happening at this time of the year anyways. But a lot is brewing in athletics in general and PV in particular. In fact will happen soon enough... that's for sure!
Read on, though, 2007/8 promises to be a good season:
Just selected:
|
August 9-14: The 24th World University Games. Bangkok, Thailand:
Charmaine Lucock (QLD) and Jacinta Lynn (VIC)
|
After a 4 week break and two weeks back, I've been doing:
1) 3Km hill runs,
2) Power pyramid lifting at the gym (for instance 10 chin-ups with 5kg, 8 x 7.5kg, 6 x 10kg, 4 x 12.5kg and 2 x 15kg. (I want to get to 2 x 22.5kg and 16 body-weight chin-ups by July/August)
3) Bungee vaulting over 4.05m from a 6 step run and a 3.30m grip.
This is another PB, not bad at 56! I'm still improving, amazing. It's like somebody reversed the aging process and forgot to tell us. Well, I know this is not really high for some of you... yet.

VICKY Parnov, niece of Olympic pole vault silver medallist Tatiana Grigorieva, will become the youngest Australian athlete to compete at a world championships.

Rising star: teenage pole vaulter Vicky Parnov will compete for Australia
in Osaka. Picture: AP
|
The 16-year-old Perth schoolgirl, who last month won gold in the pole vault at the world youth championships, was yesterday added to the Australian team for the world titles that begin in Osaka, Japan, on August 25.
Parnov has returned home after a European season in which she broke her national under-18 and under-20 record by clearing 4.40m in
Saulheim, Germany, in June.
Coached by her father, Alex, who also tutors world No. 1 men's vaulter Steve Hooker and Paul Burgess, Parnov already has vast international experience.
In 2005 she was fourth at the world youth titles in Marrakesh, Morocco, and last year finished sixth at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games and then won the bronze medal at the world junior championships in Beijing.
Grigorieva competed three times at world title level, with her best result a bronze medal at the 1999 titles. Parnov's grandmother, Natalya
Pechonkina, was the 1968 Olympic 400m bronze medallist.
Vicky has produced several B-qualifiers and is one of the country's most promising athletes, according to Athletics Australia chairman of selectors, Peter Fitzgerald.
"Her two best performances have come in Europe this year, one of them to win the world youth championships," Fitzgerald said.
Parnov – at 16 years and 305 days – succeeds fellow Osaka team member Sally McClellan as the youngest Australian athlete to compete at a world titles. McClellan, who will run in the 100m, 100m hurdles and 4 x 100m relay in Japan, was 16 years 339 days on the opening day of the 2003 world championships in Paris.
Australia will have three representatives in the women's pole vault with Parnov joining training partner Kym Howe and Queenslander Alana Boyd.

Isinbaeva, Richards Share Jackpot

Elena Isinbayeva at the winners ceremony
ISTAF G L, Berlin Sept 16, 2007.

Despite that winning the Golden League jackpot of $1 million calls for dominance in all six meetings of respective events, the prize has never remained without a holder in all years of existence. This year proved no exception, the more so that the first winner could be named once IAAF finally added pole vault to the competitions. By this move,
IAAF actually turned into a sponsor for Olympics champ and world record breaker Elena Isinbaeva of Russia. In return, it got full stands secured by the most popular Russian, who has been unconquerable in the past three years.
Predictably, Isinbaeva prevailed in all six meetings of Golden League, dominating in Oslo, Paris, Rome, Zurich, Brussels and Berlin. By winning the Golden League, she repeated the achievement of triple jumper Tatiana Lebedeva. Until recently, Lebedeva had been the sole athlete of Russia with the Golden League jackpot. The only question was whether Elena would take the whole amount like Lebedeva or share it with anyone.

US Brad Walker takes PV title at Osaka.
(By the skin of his teeth, but that's the way it goes.)
Osaka, Saturday 1st September.- Here's how it happened...
21:06 : Walker gets the first clearance at 5.86m in the pole vault. Misses for Ecker, Lukyanenko, and Hooker - Hooker's first miss. 21:13 : Ecker has chosen to pass his remaining attempts up to 5.91m in the pole vault. Walker remains the only clearance so far at 5.86m. 21:18 : Walker remains the only clearance at 5.86m in the pole vault, though we're on second attempts now. Averbukh, Ecker and Otto have passed, of course, so they'll continue as well.
21:20 : Mesnil has a clearance on his second attempt at 5.86m. Lukyanenko, Pavlov and Lobinger will try again. Hooker will risk taking his remaining attempt at 5.91m. 21:25 : Pavlov is out as well. Lobinger will be the last to vault at 5.86m. No clearance for Lobinger. We're down to six vaulters at 5.91m. 21:30 : Hooker's up for his last attempt at 5.91m in the pole vault. 21:31 : Hooker cleared his first two heights, 5.51 and 5.76, on his first attempt, but he can't do it here. We are down to five.
21:36 : Misses for everyone at 5.91m in the pole vault. Ecker only gets one more attempt; Averbukh, Walker, Mesnil and Otto get two. 21:41 : Ecker is done in the pole vault. 21:44 : It's two misses for everyone in the pole vault at 5.91m. If nobody makes their third attempts, Walker wins. 21:46 : Averbukh missed his third attempt. It's on Walker now, then Mesnil and Otto. 21:49 : Mesnil is out. Otto has the last jump at 5.91m, gold if he makes it.
21:50 : Otto misses. The vault is over, and Brad Walker has the gold on the strength of his first-attempt clearance at 5.86m. Mesnil, who cleared on his second try, will take silver. Ecker gets third at 5.81m.

Looks can be deceiving - ‘It’s not as easy as it looks,’ Isinbayeva insists
Tuesday, 28 August 2007
|
There were betting odds of 1-100
(ie bet $100 to win one) against her losing. In reality, on a scale of one to 1000, this would have been infinity, the biggest shock, not just of these championships, but in athletics history. Olympic, World and European champion (both indoors and out), holder of 20 world records, the only woman over five metres, it would have required a major shift in the
‘chi’ of the universe, a rent in the fabric of time/space, for Isinbayeva to have lost. Or a response as esoteric as the opinion of former Liverpool FC manager, Bill Shankly who, when asked if football was a matter of life or death, replied, “It’s more important than that.”
“The crowd was excellent, especially on my second and third attempts (much closer than her first). I love my fans here. They named me a World Record Artiste, and lots of 13 to 15 year old girls came to meet me, and asked me, ‘What can I do to be good in Pole Vault?’”. (that's what it's all about)
... sorry, if you hadn't noticed, Yelena won with 4.80m... yep, no arguments.

Kym Howe wins at Madrid
26º Meeting de Atletismo Madrid 2007
Saturday, July 21, 2007
No Yelena, no Jennifer, no difference for Kym... With characteristic drive and steady performances over 4.62m this season, tonight's win scored very well against the very best from Europe and the US.
The absence of the two top girls in the world this year only highlighted the fact that there is good depth in the 4.40m to 4.70m range. This is a nice precedent for Kym to work from towards Osaka.

No doubt we have a new kid on the block now, right? ... does that mean we have a competition in our hands?
We hope so. Nothing personal, but let's be honest. Sergei went up one centimetre at a time because he had no competition right? regardless of the prize on offer. The men's WR would likely be much higher otherwise. Yelena's plans are no different and we understand why, but... for the sake of pole vaulting no matter who, no matter where, no matter when or how, isn't it much better to have competition?
We think so. No love lost. We mere mortals will support old and new alike. The pole vault bug is busy at work getting unawares hooked on the third jump. (Well, I don't remember exactly which jump it was)
My, will this will be a good year or what?
To Jenn, Yelena, Brad, Steven, Budgie, the host that follows you and any others that yearn to pole vault alike, best of luck ... yours truly.

Vaulter Gives Up College but Quickly Learns to Excel
New York Times - New York, NY, USA
Suhr, whose specialty then, as now, was the pole vault, saw Stuczynski hold her own in a game against men, took note of her long-limbed and lithe frame, ...
Last night at the Reebok Grand Prix on Randalls Island, Stuczynski showed everybody, becoming the first American woman to vault 16 feet despite a persistent crosswind that seemed to vex the other vaulters, many of whom left the pit glaring at the dancing ribbons that served as their wind gauge.
After clearing 14-7 and 15-3 on her first attempts to seal the victory, Stuczynski took three stabs at 16 feet, building the drama with each near miss until she cleared the bar on her final try to eclipse by one and a half inches the American record she set last month in Los Angeles.
The only woman who has vaulted higher is the Russian Yelena Isinbayeva, who holds the world record, 16-5 ¼. Stuczynski then tried to vault over Isinbayeva. The bar was raised to 16-6, and she came tantalizingly close to clearing it on the second of her three attempts.
“I’m really excited,” Stuczynski said, adding, “I wanted to be the first American to clear 16 feet because everybody remembers the first.”
