IAAF:

Murer 4.70m

We came even closer to a new world lead in the women's Pole Vault. Even though Isinbayeva of course was missed by the spectators they were still treated to a competition providing both top quality and excitement.

At 4.50m Carolin Hingst, Fabiana Murer, Silke Spiegelburg and Monika Pyrek cleared on their first attempts and Anna Rogowska on her second at 4.60. Then at 4.60m it was Murer on her first, Rogowska, Spiegelburg and Pyrek on their second and Hingst on her third, while at 4.65 Murer and Spiegelburg succeeded on their third attempts, and at 4.70 Murer cleared on her first effort.

That 4.70 equalled Murer's indoor Area Record which she set when taking bronze at the World Indoors in Valencia last winter, and was just 1cm below Jenn Stuczynski's world lead this winter. Having won the competition Murer asked for 4.73 and two of her attempts were really good.
