Note that RL made 6.01 m with a 5.20m/14.0 pole on 18 steps only (because the track was too short for him for 20 steps).
He tried 6.17 m with a 5.20m/13.8 pole and was not very far at all...

Note :
In the B-final :
Jérôme CLAVIER made 5.60 m, possibly qualifying for european championships.
Mathieu COLLET, 19 yo (son of Philippe COLLET, 8 times french champion and NR from 1990 to 1999 with 5.94 m), made his PB with 5.30 m.
All that is very good for french team...
