Asian junior record in the men’s Pole Vault
Liu Feiliang, who recently set the national record of 5.71m, was narrowly beaten in the Pole Vault competition where for the first time two Chinese men cleared 5.60m in the same competition. Yang Yansheng, 19 –years-old, set the Asian junior record and beat Liu with both clearing 5.60m. Yang, who won the 2005 World Youth Champs and took the silver at the 2006 World Junior Championships, not only won the national title before Liu Feiliang, but also stripped him the Asian junior record of 5.55m which he had set in 2004.
19-year-old Wu Sha matched her four-year-old personal best winning the Pole Vault with a 4.30m clearance. The best Chinese vaulter Gao Shuying was missing from the competition because she competed in London on Friday clearing 4.60m there.
