- Athletes’ Home Hazards: Lavillenie Breaks Her Thumb
The French Renaud Lavillenie, Olympic pole vault champion in the London 2012 Games, showed that at 34 he wants to continue fighting, after signing this Saturday this Saturday a mark of 5.92 meters at the Bordeaux indoor meeting. The record, which in addition to the best world brand of the year for a few hours, is the best start to the season for the French peer since 2014.
Lavillenie the goal for the appointment had been set to exceed 5.80 meters with whom the indoor track season started last year. The pertiguista far exceeded the goal, after exceeding 5.92 on his second attempt. The jump encouraged the Frenchman to test over six meters, where he failed in his three attempts. A circumstance that did not deprive him of victory ahead of his brother Valentin, which took second place with a mark of 5.72 meters.
The brand was the best of the year until the American KC Lightfoot jumped 5.94 meters in the pole vault event at the Corky Classic.
