German tops American’s new M55 world PV record
Sorry, Jeff. Wolfgang Ritte has entered the room. The same day M55 Jeff Kingstad thought he was upping his own world indoor record in the vault, German world champion Ritte was putting it appreciably higher someplace in Deutschland. According to results posted on Annette and Robert Koop’s site, Wolfgang cleared 4.20 meters (13-9 1/4) — just five days after turning double nickels. (That translates to a 5.72, or 18-9 1/4, on the Age-Graded Tables.) So who will end the season uber alles? Wolfie is among 333 Germans listed as entrants at French worlds in March. Jeff isn’t listed as an entrant. But he has the luxury of competing at Boston nationals AFTER the Clermont-Ferrand meet and can see what mark he has to surpass. Who will be the first to 4.27 (14 feet)? Go get ’em, Jeff!
Here’s an achingly bad Google translation of the Annette Seite post:
