14th International Golden Roof Challenge 2018 – Pole Vault – Innsbruck (AUT)
  • 6 years ago
The 14th International Golden Roof Challenge once again saw a great line up on the FlySwat yesterday evening in Innsbruck. Neither the simultaneously staged football international match Austria / Germany nor the uncertain weather conditions could significantly influence the number of visitors to this annual event in the heart of old Innsbruck.

The pole vaulters faced challenging conditions with the cool and wet weather and could not, therefore, seriously jeopardize the longed-for meeting record. The women had an extremely exciting contest for the coveted Golden Roof Shingle. Three jumpers marked 4.25m - the victory went to Maryna Kylypko (UKR) ahead of Amalie Svabikova (CZE) and Katie Nageotte (USA). In the men's event, former indoor world champion Konstantinos Filippidis (GRE) successfully jumped 5.55m before failing when he attempted the meet record of 5.70. Second place went to Stanley Joseph (FRA) with 5.40 m in front of Diogo Ferreia (POR) 5.20 m.
