Rogowska scales 4.81m national record in Bydgoszcz

relnews Bydgoszcz, Poland - Even with only three events on the program, this year’s edition of the Pedro’s Cup meet in Bydgoszcz on Wednesday (10) certainly featured enough top stars and exciting action to make the audience in the Luczniczka indoor stadium happy.
The undoubted star of the night was World champion Anna Rogowska, who improved her own Polish national record by vaulting 4.81m. The other two events both ended with American victories, thanks to Christian Cantwell’s 21.36m effort in the Shot pPut and Andra Manson’s 2.32m clearance in the High Jump.
One look at the field assembled for the women’s vault competition was enough to see that a high-class contest was in store in Bydgoszcz, and the vaulters certainly did not disappoint. Of the nine contestants, seven were still in the competition as the bar was raised to 4.61m. Only two exited at this height – among them the triple World Championship medalist Monika Pyrek, who looked some way down on her best all evening. Her result of 4.51m may still have looked respectable, but on this occasion it was only good enough for seventh place. Of the five women who cleared 4.61m, Rogowska and Tatyana Polnova were the only ones with clean cards. Fabiana Murer of Brazil and Russian Svetlana Feofanova both managed that height on their second attempt, while Germany’s Silke Spiegelburg did on her third.
The next height of 4.71m proved more of a challenge. Murer cleared that height without major problems on her first attempt, but none of the others matched that performance. Rogowska, though, managed it the second time, and with plenty to spare, too. For the others, however, this height proved to be the last. Feofanova was especially unlucky in that each one of her attempts at 4.71m was very close, and yet the bar fell every time, leaving the former World record holder down in fourth place behind her compatriot Polnova on countback.
Both Rogowska and Murer decided to pass 4.76m and went straight to 4.81m. Murer had cleared this exact height just four days earlier in Stuttgart, beating Rogowska in the process, but history did not repeat itself this time. After the Pole had a close, but unsuccessful, first attempt, and the Brazilian also marginally failed to clear on her second vault, both women were left with just one chance to stay in the competition. Murer failed again, but Rogowska, in second place at this point, made a determined attempt, charging down the runway even faster than usual, and went clear to great applause from the near-capacity crowd in the stadium. The 4.81m represented a new Polish indoor record, one centimetre higher than Rogowska’s previous best set in 2006, and only two centimetres down on her outdoor national best.
Already the winner of the competition, Rogowska then took three more attempts at 4.86m, a height of special significance for her, since it would represent a new ‘family record’, one cm above the personal best of her husband/coach, Jacek Torlinski. Obviously unafraid of the height, she had two close attempts, but in the end, she was unable to master the height.
Cantwell unstoppable
The start list for the men’s shot put looked even more impressive, featuring the winners of the last three editions of the outdoor World Championships, as well as the current Olympic champion. But even with such depth of talent, there was nobody capable of challenging Christian Cantwell. The reigning World champion both indoors and out started his competition with 21.24m, which in itself would have been good enough for a clear win. He did not stop there, however, extending his lead to 21.25m in the third round, and 21.36m in the sixth, after he was already sure of finishing first. In all, the American had the four best puts of the contest.
The battle for other places was close. Reese Hoffa reached 20.97m in the first round, a distance with which he just held on for second place in the end. Another former World champion Adam Nelson started out with two puts just over 20.50m and improved to 20.91m in the fourth round, which put him into third.
For the Olympic champion Tomasz Majewski, the competition in Bydgoszcz was the first time in nearly two and a half years that he finished outside the top three. Still, the Pole was relatively satisfied with the result of 20.86m in what was only his second competition of the year, especially considering a recent injury problem.
The battle for the win in the men’s High Jump was a closer one. Up to 2.24m, Sylwester Bednarek, Andrey Tereshin and Dusty Jonas were the only jumpers with no failures. But when the bar moved up another four centimetres, both Bednarek and Jonas failed three times. The only ones to clear this were Tereshin and the American Andra Manson. The World Championship runner-up Kyriakos Ioannou passed this height to have a go at 2.30m, which he promptly cleared the first time, going into the lead. This height proved too much for Tereshin, but the American decided to pass and attack 2.32m. Manson might have been looking slow in his run-up and struggling somewhat at the lower heights, but he delivered when it counted: with his second jump, he cleared. This was good enough to win the competition, as the Cypriot was eliminated at this height. Manson went on to take three jumps at the would-be meet record of 2.35m, but that proved too high on the day.
