A high quality inaugural meeting in Düsseldorf
Saturday 18 February 2006

Düsseldorf, Germany - The men’s Pole Vault was one of the highlights of the new Düsseldorf indoor meeting held on Friday evening (17). In front of a capacity crowd of 1500 spectators the 21-year-old German Fabian Schulze was the only one to clear 5.75m, while of the five others to jump 5.70m, Lars Börgeling placed second and Romain Mesnil of France took third.

Next week’s German Indoor championships in Karlsruhe will be decisive concerning the national team tickets for the 11th IAAF World Indoor Championships which take place in Moscow, Russia, next month (10 – 12 March). Four German pole vaulters – Schulze, Börgeling, Björn Otto and Tim Lobinger – have already achieved the qualifying standard of 5.70m, and again in Düsseldorf these four cleared that height, and of course there are only two squad berths available.

“I felt strong today. And when I did not jump 5.70m on my first attempt I gambled and went for 5.75m insteadâ€Â
