t-and-f: Women's Vault--4.30 and Above
Yesterday, I wrote: The 2005 season marked the completion of the first full decade of women's pole vault marks above 4.30 meters. 0n 28 January 1996, Emma George of Australia smashed this metric landmark with 4.41m at Perth. A month earlier, she had become the first 14-foot female vaulter, with 4.28m (14'1/2), also at Perth. I thought it would be interesting to check Mirko Jalava's world lists tilastopaja.net> to see how many vaulters, in total, have reached that 4.30 mark in the decade and what countries they represented. Next, I thought it would be interesting to see what vaulter has had the most years with seasonal bests of 4.30 or above. Here's what I found. The data do not include indoor, market square, or beach competitions: Vaulters with most seasonal bests 4.30m and over. (Where tied, listed by order of their first year at this height.)

Only five countries have six or more on the list: United States (28), Germany (15), Russia (9), Australia (8) and France (6). Grigorieva gets counted twice, for Russia in 1999 and the other six times for Australia.

Where is Svyetlana Fefanova, the second greatest vaulter in history, in all of this?

Uri - Right here: Quoting Roger Ruth [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Svetlana Feofanova RUS Anastasiya Ivanova RUS Anastasiya KiryanovaRUS Aleksandra Kiryashova RUS Tatyana Polnova RUS No questioning of Feofanova's place in present-day vaulting, but as I noted, I did not include indoor marks in this survey and that's her special niche. Outdoors, she cleared 4.30 or better in only five of the seasons covered. (She was injured and did not vault in the 2005 outdoor season.) Indoors, she had 4.30 or better in each of the seasons 2000-2005, setting world records in three of these years.
