Katie Byres of GBR not making finals is probably the biggest surprise. Liz Parnov missed three times at 4.10 and got lucky to get in with 4.05, that was probably the second biggest surprise.

Sweden’s on song Bengtsson on course to defend Pole Vault title – Barcelona 2012 – Day Three Morning report

Barcelona - World record holder Angelica Bengtsson took the first step to defending her Pole Vault title when the third day of the IAAF World Junior Championships began this morning on a very hot Barcelona morning.

Bengtsson aiming to match the achievement New Zealander shot putter Jacko Gill had celebrated the previous evening and repeat her victory from Moncton two years ago, had no problem in clearing the automatic qualifier for the final of 4.10m.

Along with Natalya Demidenko the Russian who finished third behind her in last year's European Junior Championships, she only entered the contest when the bar reached the automatic qualifying height.

That proved no problem for either of them as the pair along with six other athletes clearing 4.10m, automatically clinched their places into Saturday's final where the Swede is expected to make an assault on her World record of 4.63m.

Kira Grunberg was rewarded for her persistence when raising the Austrian record on her second attempt to 4.05m to earn a place on count-back ahead of Italy's Sonia Malavisi and Russia's Kristina Bondarenko.

"I am satisfied that I did not fault," said Bengtsson. "It was a comfortable competition for me. Only the swirling wind was a problem."
