Yang, himself a prodigy who took World Youth gold in 2005 and and World Junior silver the following year, topped out at 5.40m before bowing out at a would-be indoor PB of 5.60m. For Andreyev, who didn't move beyod qualifying at last year's Olympic Games and this year's World championships, his clearance was the fourth best of his career.
