Yang Yansheng improves to 5.75m
The only national record of this competition came in the men’s Pole Vault where Yang Yansheng is slowly approaching the top of the world. Yang, 22, isn’t a surprise name as he won the World Youth Championships in 2005 and was the silver medallist at the 2006 World Junior Championships in Beijing. In 2009 Yang cleared 5.70m and following a 5.63m national indoor record in March, he continued with a 5.72m NR in June and now cleared 5.75m to win the national championships in Jinan. 19-year-old Xia Xiang set a 5.35m personal best for equal second place, but is still 25cm away from Yang’s 5.60m national junior record from 2007. Lu Yao was the other athlete in equal second place with a 5.35m PB with Li Kang also clearing 5.35 for a season’s best and fourth place.
