13y old girl vaulting 3.95m

[lefterisp]

This previous Saturday, Katerina Stefanidou, born in 1990 jumped 3.95m in Peania, Athens, Greece. She is 13y and something. Does anyone know if this is a world indoor best for her age?

In case anyone one is interested, Katerina Stefanidou jumped 4.14 yesterday during the greek championship for her age category (14 years old). This must be a world record for age 14 and 15. Good job.

According to the Greek Federation's web page, Katerina Stefanidou just jumped 4.25 indoors (at the balkan games). Is this a world record for her age? She is now 15.

If this is 2005, this little girl just turned 15 on Feb 4. Do the math.

Edit: oops. just noticed original post was done in Jan. 2004.

Where does Saxer sit relative to this list?

How reliable are the Greek birth records (are they lost in the 5 mile to school and back journey [tongue in check...:>)])?

And did she show up for her drug test? (tongue even further in cheek)

I think this sort of belongs on this thread.
