With World Champion Raphael Holzdeppe, Olympic Champion and World silver medalist Renaud Lavillenie and bronze medal winner Bjorn Otto the best Pole Vaulters in the world will be represented in Brussels.
For Renaud Lavillenie the Belgacom Memorial Van Damme provides a unique opportunity to take revenge for finishing second in Moscow. Lavillenie also tops the rankings in the Samsung Diamond Race by a wide margin. But his challengers from Germany are ready to make life difficult for Lavillenie. The Men’s Pole Vault promises to become one of the big battles in Brussels.
