Alysha Newman's Pole Vault Poles Broken on Trip to Doha Diamond LeaguePublished by
Canadian Pole Vaulter's Poles Broken on Flight to Doha Diamond League MeetingBy Adam Kopet Alysha Newman posted on social media Thursday that her pole vault poles were broken en route to the Doha Diamond League meeting.
Newman, the Commonwealth Games champion from Canada, had been among 10 women entered in the Diamond League event. With less than 24 hours before the pole vault is set to begin, it is unlikely she will be able to get a new set of poles in time. Pole vaulters routinely struggle to transport their poles to competitions when air travel is involved. Newman might still be able to compete Friday, but to do so, she will likely need to use borrowed poles. More news |
