Rogowska and Spiegelburg both 4.75 meter

[atlegu]

An awesome pole vault competition on the first day of the 2011 SPAR European Team Championships in Stockholm,

"A terrific women’s pole vault contest saw a repeat of the outcome of 2011 European Athletics Championships with Poland’s 2009 world champion Anna Rogowska again prevailing over Germany’s Silke Speigelburg.

The gold and silver medallists from Paris were both over a world-leading height of 4.75m but Rogowska went clear at the first time of asking while her German rival needed two attempts.

Clearly feeling confident of taking 12 points, Rogowska then passed the next height of 4.80m, at which Speigelburg took two attempts before having to retire. She then had three failures at a Polish record of 4.86m"
