After jumping 5.70 on his first attempt in the Men’s Pole Vault, a late-competition calf cramp forced Denys Yurchenko to prematurely become a spectator after two misses at 5.76. Holding the lead on misses over Tim Lobinger, who had passed 5.76, the Ukrainian then watched the German take three unsuccessful attempts at a would-be world-leading 5.82 before celebrating his win.

Of special note was the 5.70 of Germany’s Fabian Schulze in third place. The 21-year-old ended the evening with three excellent attempts at a would-be PB 5.76. Former world champion Giuseppe Gibilisco of Italy finished in a tie for sixth with Lars Börgeling at 5.60, while reigning World and European indoor champion Igor Pavlov of Russia struggled with a no-height at 5.40.
