Liévin meet started

[BruceFlorman]

If you can read French, you can get running commentary from Liévin here ... http://www.lavoixdessports.com/fr/direct_live/direct_live_frameset.phtml?id_evt=180

If Eurosport is doing anything similar in English, I haven't found it. Anybody know for sure?

Et un record de France pour Vanessa Boslak, à 4,51 m !
La Lilloise a d'ores et déjà réussi son meeting en battant son propre record de 4,50 m, qui datait de mars 2004. Rappelons que son record de France en plein air est à 4,60m.

I think that Vanessa Boslak just raised the French indoor record to 4.51 m -- but my French ain't all that good.

[BruceFlorman]

Et dernière tentative pour Isinbayeva, qui échoue à 4, 92 m. Pas de record du monde cette fois ci !

Perche : 1. Isinbayeva, 4, 72 m ; 2. Pyrek, 4, 62 m ; 3. Rogowska, 4,62 m... 5. Boslak, 4, 51 m... 9. Duboquet, 3, 90 m.

Sigh ... no joy in Liévin, Volgograd or Indy tonight.

She looked a little angry when she missed the first two attempts at 4.92. She even threw the bar (by accident) at a photographer. I Missed her last attempt because I switched to another channel during a commercial break.

"And a French national record for Boslak, at 4.51m!"
"the Lille native bettered her old record of 4.50m, which was set in march 2004. The French outdoor record is 4.60m"


thats a VERY ROUGH translation
