Dmitriy Kuptsov vaulted 5.75 on sunday.
Aleksey Drozdov scored 6129 in a heptathlon recently. Not as high as his best from last year, but this still would have ranked him 3rd in the world in 2005, and is an ominous sign to the others that he will be ready for Moscow. Yuliya Ignatkina won the pentathlon with 4511, (which would have ranked her 7th on the world lists last year) but Svetlana Ladokhina still leads the world lists with 4613 (good enough for 4th on last years lists) and beat Ignatkina by 300 pts in that decemeber encounter
Tatyana Lebedeva insisted she would compete just in the triple jump this indoor season, but she still competed in the long jump at a meet in Volgograd, jumping 6.52. However, she was beaten by Olga Kucherenko's PB of 6.61. Kucherenko is just 20 so one for the future and currently leads the world lists.
Slesarenko jumped 1.88, but did not attempt 1.91 as she ahd won the competition.
Tabakova ran 7.13 in the 60m. 400m specialist Pospelova ran 7.20 in the heats but did not contest the final.
Ivanova 23.48 in the 200m, ahead of world finalist Gushina, who ran 23.66
Krasnomovets 51.44 in the 400m
Skhurlatov won the men's LJ with 7.97
------------------------------------------------
And in Germany...
Unger ran 6.78/6.81 in his 60m heats
Marion Wagner, injured last summer, opened with 7.43/23.79 double
