In the men's Pole Vault the Beijing silver medallist Yevgeniy Lukyanenko cleared 5.65m easily before bowing out at 5.85m.

“I had no rivals unfortunately,” Lukyanenko said.

And it was true. American Brad Walker, with his personal best of 6.04m absolutely failed in Luzhniki as well. Cheered by friendly Moscovites he couldn't manage to clear 5.40m. Dmitriy Kuptsov was the runner-up, clearing 5.40.
