Lavillenie hopes for top mark
JABLONEC (CZE): Pole vault star Renaud Lavillenie arrived to Czech Republic to jump at the Jablonec Indoor Gala on Saturday (EA Indoor Permit). “It is just right time to do the last meet 10 days before the World Indoors. I think I can jump high, hoping for six meters. I have the shape as my season started little bit later and last two competitions were really good. I always like to compete in Czech after three times Ostrava and last year European Indoors. My plan is clear as in 2012 I want to be at European Championships and Olympic Games.” The meet in Jablonec in 7 events offers interesting duels like all three medalists from Praha 2015 (Talay, Solomon, Hatton) against Tiffany Porter or Yunier Perez vs Richard Kilty in the 60. In total 3 European Indoor winners from 2015 will compete.
