While I'm here I might as well add Isi's quotes from the press conference.
http://www.weltklassezuerich.ch/en/news ... r=2007#164

Yelena ISINBAYEVA (world champion in pole vault, and still alive for Golden League jackpot):
"The Weltklasse has our event [women's pole vault] for the first time and I'm very happy to be able to be part of this great meeting. I'm also glad that we will compete together with the men in the same area. It will be for us a good motivation to show that we can also jump high. I still have five competitions left (Zurich, Brussels, Berlin, Stuttgart, Shanghai) and I want win all of them and at each I want to try to break my world record. I think the height progression here in Zurich is great, that means I will not have to wait my usual two hours until I can jump because it will be quicker. It should be a good competition because the other girls are jumping pretty high as was seen in Osaka. I want to show to the public something great and unforgettable. I'm not tired at all, I travelled from Japan already the day after my finals, so I m well adjusted into European time. There was no time for a party yet, that will come after the season. Concerning the Golden League situation I will focus on my competition, I will not follow the other two Jackpot contenders, but of course I m not wishing them anything bad, they will try for sure to win again too."

Not many major international meets with men's and women's pole vault. This should be fun!

[rainbowgirl28]

The webcast is superb quality. Not sure if the pole vault has started yet.

Mine wont show up...

Mine wont show up...

They don't seem to even have a camera by the pole vault pit. Try the IAAF radio broadcast, at least then you might hear what is going on.

Radio folks say the WPV is at 4.55 and the men at 5.50 and that they are vaulting side by side. MAN I wish I could see video I haven't seen any.

I am listening to the radio audio instead of the video, so if anyone hears anything interesting on the video, post it here.
