Achieved indoor but unified with outdoor (the opposite is neither valid nor admitted), the Frenchman Renaud Lavillenie was in Lausanne last Friday.
The day before, as he was walking through the streets of Lausanne, he ran into Sergei Bubka, who had just lost his long standing record and who came to the IOC. “We do not talk about this record any more, explained the Frenchman. Since my 6m16, we met many times. We mentioned then the topic. But now, it is no longer relevant”. In Lausanne, on this Thursday, the two men have just walked a while together. The world is small.
