Andreyev's 5.60m vault the highlight as Asian Indoor Games conclude in Hanoi

Leonid Andreyev's victory in the Pole Vault was the key highlight on the third and final day of athletics competition at the 3rd Asian Indoor Games in Hanoi on Monday.

The 26-year-old from Uzbekistan, who took World junior gold in the Decathlon in 2002, equalled his indoor PB of 5.60m to win event over China's Yang Yansheng. Yang, himself a prodigy who took World Youth gold in 2005 and and World Junior silver the following year, topped out at 5.40m before bowing out at a would-be indoor PB of 5.60m. For Andreyev, who didn't move beyod qualifying at last year's Olympic Games and this year's World championships, his clearance was the fourth best of his career.
