[Wan]

OMG... The bar is at the top... 6.30 m ? I don't understand ukrainian language... Have to wait for the asked height...

[Wan]

He tooked a too stiff bar and hurt himself... too bad...
Shouldn't have made so much show. Hope it won't be a too bad thing.
He quits.
Stupidly hurted but... WORLD RECORDER !!!

Thank you for the link Wan...that was amazing!

[Wan]

Thanks for having read this thread...
This jump was just incredible... Like Bubka did some... 6.18 or 6.19 possibly...
I'll rember this for a long time...
I'm happy for my favorite... just a bit worry for his ankle. Being back on the track from a 6.20 m pole is not a begnin thing...
Nevermind, have a good night folks !

[Wan]

You have dances and a lot of other things before.

Hope to enjoy with that after, depends of the results of the meeting !...
Nevermind... This show doesn't seem to be broadcasted totally in live (just from 5 pm to 7 pm local time). Probably a summary or hopefully the most interesting end of it.

To palm1234 :
Now I can go dancing !

Several PV coaches had told Lavillenie to quit this sport because he was too short and would never jump high...

:-)

The bigger pole never took!!!! 5.20/. 13.8... Congratulations but little injury at 6.21m. But Not very serious

From Debbie Chappell:

WR UPDATE: Renauld was still signing autographs when Steve left venue. (With urging) he is getting his foot checked out afterwards - X-rays etc. Steve said his heel was bleeding a bit.

Sergey told Steve he was so happy it happened in Donetsk saying "He's a really good guy and I'm so proud to be passing the baton to Renauld..."

and her previous post:

Just so the rumor mill doesn't explode, Renauld did NOT break his foot on his further attempt at WR (as being posted in some places.) His mid-mark was off and he came down on the runway (not in the box). He has a cut but is up smiling, signing autographs etc and seems fine, but in a little bit of pain....so I'm told by eyewitness : )
