The 22-year-old Bubka eclipsed the world indoor Best in the pole vault Clearing 19 feet 6 /4 inches on his second attempt cracking the Mark of 19-53/4 he had set a week ago in the los Angeles times games at Inglewood Calif. The 29-year-old Koch added to her Cache of world in door bests and world outdoor records by capturing the women s 220-Yard dash in 22.89 seconds breaking the Mark of 22.95 established last year by triple olympic Gold medallist Valerie Brisco Hooks of the United states. In addition to the glittering efforts by Bubka and Koch Lynn Jennings of Durham n.h., ripped More than three seconds off the world indoor Best in the women s two mile race clocking 9 28.15. Jim Heiring of Colorado Springs colo., set a world indoor Best in the men s two mile walk with a time of 12 05.9. Teresa Vaill of Boston set an american record of 6 53.58 in the women s mile walk. Heike drechsler of East Germany registered the farthest indoor Long jump Ever in the United states 23-103/4. In winning drechsler beat Jackie Joyner who broke her american record in finishing second at 22-10vi. Another outstanding performer was Mike Conley. He won the men s Long jump and triple jump for the second consecutive year the first time since 1969-70, when Norm Tate did it that such a double double had been accomplished. The pole vault expected to be a fierce Duel among Bubka and the top two americans Billy Olson and Joe dial instead turned into a family affair among the bub Kas. Sergei s older brother Vasily finished second at 18 Olson who had set the world indoor Best four times this season failed to Clear a height missing three times at 18 4 /2 after passing the opening height of 18-0 /2. Dial who had set the world indoor Best once in 1986, cleared 18-Ovi on his first try passed at 18-4 a then failed three times at 18-8 /4.

Last year Bubka set the world indoor Best of 19-8 /4 an also cleared 19-6 /4. The conditions for the pole vault Competition were much Calmer and safer for the jumpers than in the last Garden meet the Wanamaker millrose games feb. 14. At that time Bubka threatened to withdraw after Olson and dial had been Given extra jumps when they claimed interference along the runway by photographers and meet officials. After several heated arguments Bubka was pacified by being Given another jump. But it did t help. He failed to Clear a height while Olson won at 19-0 /4. It was the Only loss for Bubka in the four meets in which he competed in the United states. He skipped last Sun Day s meet at san Diego claiming an injury to his left shoulder but reportedly his withdrawal was a payback to Olson for having skipped the meet at Rosemont 111.
