Renaud Lavillenie: “Looking for the best performance of the season”, in Toulouse
Renaud, satisfied with your Swiss competition (3rd, 5.71 m) in Bellinzona, this Monday? ?
“I come away with a lot of positives. Very early, for my first bar, I take my 5.10 m 14.6, the biggest pole of the season and I don’t have any bigger in my case. Afterwards, I lose energy passing 5.71 m on the 3rd try and I have no more juice. The performance is therefore not better than those of the last competitions; it’s more the way that is very positive. It gives me hope to do something good in Toulouse. »
In this extension?
“I have two goals. The first is winning. There is a nice field with Vloon, Nielsen and me, all at 5.80m lately, and to finish with a victory would be good. The second, to get the best performance of the season, that is to say 5.90 m. And in view of the Bellinzona competition, I have everything to believe in it. »

Do you know this Capitole Perche?
“No, it’s the 2nd edition and I stopped competing for the first one last year. I was a spectator. The luck of our discipline is that we can do official competitions in different settings. Finishing in Toulouse is a great opportunity. »
