Defending champ Ecker, Mohr, Starodubtsev and Gibilisco all out. Just one German (Straub) in the final. Jeng scrapes through. French vaulters lead the way. Steven Lewis pulled out a 5.70m clearance when it mattered.

Very disappointing performance by Ecker, maybe his back bothered him again.

In a recent piece on the IAAF site, he said he was still trying to get used to his new poles.
