Injured Kuptsov takes the victory
Also in the third vertical jumping event of the evening, the men's Pole Vault, the world leading mark was under serious attack. Three vaulters cleared 5.70 and those three happened to be the top-3 statistically before the meet: Tim Lobinger, Oleksandr Korchmyd and Dmitriy Kuptsov. But only Kuptsov had a perfect record so far, Lobinger had one miss at 5.56 and Korchmyd two at 5.70.
Kuptsov continued his impressive vaulting at 5.76, clearing also that new personal best on the initial attempt. Korchmyd missed his three attempts, while Lobinger passed when he realised he needed the next height (5.82) to snatch the victory from Kuptsov. 5.82 incidently was 1 cm better than the seasonal top mark of 5.81 set in Wien two days ago by Lobinger himself. While Kuptsov injured himself slightly on first attempt and refrained from taking any more vaults Lobinger made use of all his chances – but to no avail.
