2013 European Indoor Champs, Day 3: Lavillenie Clears 6.01m, WL, by Alfons Juck, note by Larry Eder

The Euro Indoor Championships were one of the best executed events that I have ever seen, on any continent. The shot put qualifying in the Marketplace, the in stadium commentating with Katherine Merry and Christian Olsson, to the app used from Goteborg 2013: all were signs that the sport was moving forward.

My fear is that, even with WL in both 60m for men, 60m hurdles for men, Men’s pole vault, Triple Jump and Long jump for men, Long jump and Triple jump for women and 4 x 400m for women, two issues may stay in mind, in our apparent focus on accentuating the negative. Our sport tends to shoot itself in the foot quite often. 
The first was the snafu over the 4 x 400m, which the Great Britain and NI team were disqualified and quickly reinstated. Case should be closed.
 The second was the terribly sad non clearance of Renaud Lavillenie. As he went over 6.07m, the bar jumped and did not land back in the proper place on the standard, hence, it was not counted. Lavillenie was unconsolable.
The truth is, Renaud Lavillenie will, more than likely have another one of those great days. Hopefully the guy goes higher than 6.07m. The truth is, world record days are one in a million, even for the best. All has to be working right, and those days, to be savored, are, infrequent. Renaud Lavillenie knew he was having one of those days. 
Have to admit. I watched Okkert Brits of South Africa jump, I watched Sergey Bubka jump. Bubka is the world record holder. First man who I think can truly take a shot at the WR is French. Renaud Lavillenie is, truly, the new le roi de la perche. This guy has the speed, athleticism and most importantly, the swagger, to be the next great one. He mesmerized the stands last night with his jumps over 5.91m, 5.96m, 6.01m and, mon Dieu, when he cleared 6.07m, I thought my heart would stop! He did not believe it. I then looked at the screen from Omega and saw nothing on the screen. 6.07 meters was left for another day…
