Brad WALKER - U.S.A. - 2007 World Championships Pole Vault Gold (result)

Brad is pictured above during the final of the mens Pole Vault at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka. Walker, the silver medallist at the 2005 Worlds in Helsinki, this time went one better, pipping France's Romain Mesnil to gold on the countback rule after both men had cleared 5.86m. He later commented: "To win this is a good deal of motivation for the future - you want to continue in this and are ready to put in more work. The level of the competition was really high with nine jumpers still involved at 5.86. That was also because the conditions were very good for pole vaulting until we had gone beyond 5.81m. Then it was getting a bit windy, otherwise probably more athletes would have jumped higher."
