March 12th, 2010
Australian Olympic and world champion Steve Hooker turned his first indoor pole vault of the year into an easy qualifier, joining eight others in Saturday’s final by clearing 5.60 on his only attempt. However, the year’s top indoor vaulter, France’s Renaud Lavillenie, and American Tim Mack could not advance past the opening session of the three-day championships.
