More championship record fall in Bambous - African junior champs, Day 3
...
From the onset of Rahme’s campaign the competition was between him and the Pole Vault bar. Once eventual runner up Mohammed Bouhadjer Algeria failed to vault beyond 4.35m, Cheyne stepped forward with an opening clearance at 4.55m. He went onto clear 4.80m, and 5.10m, before achieving a lifetime best of 5.30m on his second attempt. His previous best was 5.25m.
All fired up Rahme called for the bar to be set at 5.47m with the aim of setting a national record. This was not to be. His pole snapped and broke into three pieces when he planted it for the vault. He got another attempt with a substitute pole but failed to clear the height.
“Today I felt ready break the 5.46m national record,” Rahme said. “However the strong wind blowing sideways brought my plans to a halt. Anyway I have one more year as a junior and will try again to break new grounds next year.”
