I was so happy when I cleared 4.61m but, when I cleared 4.71m, I was ecstatic,she said. It caps a remarkable year for Bleasdale, who won the European Under-23 title in July. She failed to register a height at the World Championships in Daegu, but this latest jump marks her out as a genuine medal contender for the London 2012 Olympics.

The record was even more remarkable, given the fact she was challenging off a 12-stride approach as opposed to her usual 16 strides.I knew I had capabilities of getting 4.61 but getting 4.71 in competition was such a surprise,said Bleasdale, who only entered the contest in Orleans to break up her winter training.

Training has been going amazing and I was really confident and just wanted to have fun seeing as it was just a small competition off a short approach and I did not taper for it.I can’t wait to see what I can vault off 16 strides.Bleasdale’s training partner, Katie Byres, cleared 4.16m to earn fifth place and become the UK indoor junior record-holder.

Women’s pole vault records

The gold, silver, and bronze medal winners in the women’s pole vault from the Olympic games.

The 30-year-old has traditional himself as the favourite at next summer’s Olympics with this second milestone performance of the year. In April, Mutai ran the fastest marathon in history: 2:03:02 in Boston. That did not count as a world record because the course is measured too straight and too downhill.

The second and third placed runners were also inside the previous New York record of 2:07:43 set by Tesfaye Jifar of Ethiopia a decade earlier. London Marathon winner, fellow Kenyan Emmanuel Mutai, was one minute, 22 seconds behind. Tsegaye Kebede of Ethiopia was third.

The women’s race was won by Ethiopian Firehiwot Dado, in a time of two hours, 23 minutes and 15 seconds, to edge her compatriot Buzunesh Deba by four seconds. Dado, 27, making her New York debut, ran an individual best for the distance.

Third place was reigning London Marathon champion, Mary Keitany of Kenya, who led from the start until she was overtaken by the two Ethiopians with just a mile to run. She completed 23 seconds behind. Geoffrey Mutai’s time was still 88 seconds off the men’s marathon world record of 2:03:38, set by Kenya’s Patrick Makau at the Berlin Marathon just 43 days ago.

Hammer throwers use the same size throwing circle as shot putters, with an inside diameter of 2.135 meters.

Men’s world record:
Yuriy Sedykh and fellow Russian Sergey Litvinov were mostly answerable for taking the hammer-throwing record on a roller coaster ride from 1980 to 1986, when the record distorted hands frequently, even during the same meet.

On May 16, 1980, Sedykh set his first hammer record with a toss measure 80.38 meters. His mark was broken down later in the meet by Juri Tamm (80.46), but domestic that same day by Sedykh (80.64). Litvinov got into the act eight days later with a throw of 81.66. Sedykh retort on July 31 with an 81.80-meter throw.

Litvinov shattered the mark on June 4, 1982 (83.98) then betters it on June 21, 1983 (84.14). Sedykh had the last word in the duel however; obliterate Litvinov’s record with a throw measuring 86.34 on July 3, 1984. Sedykh enhanced the record twice, to 86.66 and, finally, to 86.74 on Aug. 30, 1986.

Women’s world record:
Betty Heidler broke Anita Wlodarczyk’s previous mark with a third-round throw measure 79.42 meters (260 feet, 6 inches) during a meet in Heidler’s native Germany on May 21, 2011.The record, which came on Lysenko’s first throw of the opposition, noticeable the fourth time she’d documented a new standard.

She set her first verification with a throw of 77.06 meters on July 15, 2005. Fellow Russian Gulfiya Khanafeyeva set a new mark of 77.26 on June 12, 2006, but Lysenko take action with a throw of 77.41 just 12 days later. Lysenko betters her record to 77.80 on Aug. 15, 2006.
