DAY ONE

Rybova was leading the Pole Vault because she jumped 4.40m on her first attempt, but then Badurova, who had only survived at 4.35m on her last vault, cleared 4.45m. Rybova was more than equal to that task and flew over 4.50m in response. Badurova in turn surpassed that success with her own triumph at 4.55m, and with Rybova not making her next height (4.60m), Badurova’s victory was secure.

Afterwards Badurova tried for new national record 4.66m, all three were good but ultimately unsuccessful.

In the men’s Pole Vault, Adam Ptacek managed 5.49m and tried without success for 5.70m, while junior Jan Kudlicka bettered his own national record of that category by 1cm to 5.43m.

Decathlon World record holder Roman Sebrle confirmed that his shape is rising as he made 4.83m in Pole Vault and a 8.06 second run in the 60m Hurdles and was satisfied with his championships.
