Brilliant Bleasdale Holly Bleasdale smashes Indoor British Record in the Pole Vault and Goes 2nd on the All - Time List 1710857839

"Pole vaulter Holly Bleasdale smashed her own British indoor record and moved to second on the all-time world list with a clearance of 4.87m in Lyon.

The 20-year-old improved her record by one centimetre in going over at 4.72m, and managed 4.80m at the first attempt.

She then cleared 4.87m at the third attempt to win the event and assume the lead in the world rankings.

Only world record holder Yelena Isinbayeva of Russia has gone higher, with a clearance of 5m.

In attempting to beat that record, Bleasdale failed to clear 5.01m, but was nonetheless satisfied with what she achieved in France."

Found the video, doesn't seem to be any pressure really which would've helped her to just get on with it! thumbsup

Terrific news. That was also after a short (14 stride) run-up. she failed at 5:01 which would have been a new world record.

(More good news from the weekend was Robbie Grabartz (spelling) getting over 2:34 in the HJ.)

Thanks for heads up teassoc on Robbie Grabarz - don't know anything about him. Just been checking his stats - 2.28 in 2011 and 2010, so that 2.34m high jump is major breakthrough - great stuff clap

Holly jumping tonight in Poland with full stride pattern and longer pole. Up against Isinbayeva and a few other strong vaulters. A win tonight might be expecting a bit too much but anything over 4:50 would be OK as she attempts to be a regular 4:60 to 4:70 jumper.

If you're a fan of Holly, or just want your own memorabilia that may be worth a fortune by the end of summer, why not bid on a pair of signed spikes?
There are just 3 days left to bid and it's in a great cause too.

Currently jumping. Her and Isinbayeva have both cleared 4:68m. Next hight for both is 4:80m. Holly behind on countback.

Neither get over 4:80 so Isinbayeva wins on countback.

The charity auction finishes at 20:34:18 GMT on Friday and the spikes are only at £50, what a bargain thumbsup
