WinnerAngelica BENGTSSON, SWE
I have never started a competition higher than with a mark of 4,25 metres. I am happy with my final mark. Before the first attempt I hoped to jump around 4,50 metres, so everything have been good. I got the Championships Record and I am really very happy. I have jumped 4.58m last week, so I hoped to pass 4.60 as well. My coach told me recently that I am selected for London Olympic Games and I am really excited about that. I don't expect anything in the Olympics, but I want to qualify to the finals.

Second - Liz PARNOV, AUS
This Championships has been my first international competition and it was awesome. I have recovered from an injury in the last three weeks and I came here to fight to do my best and I took silver and it was exiting. I'm from Perth and I have just finished school and I'm studying Communucations and Media at uni. I train with my father, Alex Parnov, who is also coaching Steve Hooker. My next goal? undoubtly London 2012!
