Raphael HOLZDEPPE - Germany - 2013 World pole vault champion - in Moscow.

Raphael HOLZDEPPE clears the bar in the pole vault at the 2013 World Championships in Moscow to win his

first major International title.  He beat Olympic and European Champion Renaud Lavillenie, who both cleared 5.89m,

on fewer failours.   Rapael cleared 5.89 on his first attempt - pictured above - hence the elation.

Renaud took three attempts before clearing the same height.
