The pictures above show Toby at the 2006 Grand Prix Final in Stuttgart. His 5.82m
clearance was the same as both Paul Burgess and Tim Lobinger but it was Burgess
who took the honours on the countback rule. Stevenson was placed second and Lobinger third.

The sequence of pictures above show Toby failing his third and final attempt at 5.95m
during the final of the Pole Vault at the 2004 Olympics in Athens. The unfortunate American
knocked the bar off when brushing it with his vest meaning that compatriot Timothy Mack
took the Gold with his new Olympic record vault. Photos George Herringshaw. ©
