Straub takes heated Pole Vault title, but Berlin spots still unclear

Usually the men’s Pole Vault is one of the strongest German disciplines. But this year the Germans are under par for some reason. Additionally Danny Ecker, who had been the best asset in recent major championships, had to withdraw from the Ulm event due to an injury. The bronze medallist of the World Championships in Osaka will now miss this year’s event in Berlin.

But there was still some drama in this event. Tim Lobinger is another experienced and successful athlete who will miss out on Berlin. Having had difficulties in finding his form this season he finally cleared the required standard of 5.70m in Ulm on Saturday. But that was only good enough for fourth place.

Lobinger was just beaten by Björn Otto, who had cleared 5.70m at his second attempt while Lobinger needed three jumps. World junior champion Raphael Holzdeppe was another prominent victim of these Pole Vault ,trials’. He was fifth with 5.60m. Otto should now get selected for Berlin. But the officials will have some headache regarding the nomination. It is obvious that the new national champion Alexander Straub will get the Berlin ticket. He jumped 5.70m at his first attempt but so did Tobias Scherbarth. After a strong indoor season during which Scherbarth had just missed qualification for the European Indoors he did not do too well recently. But in Ulm Scherbarth was strong enough to force Straub into a jump-off. There was no decision until Straub finally cleared 5.60m. Scherbarth should normally be given the ticket, but Malte Mohr had cleared 5.80m earlier in the season. Mohr however had to be content with 10th place and 5.40m in Ulm.

but they are probably going to take just top 3 right?

It's up to each country how they pick their team, most don't do it like the US.

Women’s events: Spiegelburg could spring a surprise in Berlin

It was Silke Spiegelburg who once again proved that she can be relied on when it matters. While her closest rival Anna Battke could not produce a height because she missed 4.40m three times Spiegelburg cleared 4.55 at her first attempt to secure the Pole Vault title.

Spiegelburg then jumped 4.65 at her third attempt and went on to attempt to break Annika Becker’s seven year-old German record of 4.77m, and she almost did it on her final attempt, but she had to settle for a winning height of 4.65m.

“It is a bit annoying because it was so close, but otherwise I am very happy,” said Spiegelburg, who belongs to those German athletes who could be in with an outside chance in Berlin in August.

Kristina Gadschiew took second place with 4.50m while Lisa Ryzih was third (4.40). Gadschiew will have qualified for Berlin and so Anna Battke will get the third slot.

Scherbarth broke his foot. Otto is replacing him on the team. It sounds pretty bad, he's going to have to have surgery on it. I'm not sure how it happened, he was competing at the WUG, and made the height needed for qualifying, did not jump after that.

probably landed on his feet in the pit.
