Lillefosse Leaps to Victory at Vault Over Bucharest

Men's Competition

Norway's Pal Lillefosse produced a season's best clearance of 5.31m to secure victory in the men's competition at Vault Over Bucharest.

The 2022 European Championship bronze medallist showed encouraging signs of a return to top form, clearing 5.21m and 5.31m at the first time of asking. Lillefosse made three attempts at 5.41m before bowing out, comfortably sealing the win.

Tom Walley pushed Lillefosse all the way, matching the 5.21m height with a first-time clearance and producing strong attempts at 5.31m — a mark that would have secured the Welsh Commonwealth Games 'B' standard.

Completing the podium was Will Lane, who cleared 5.06m and came agonisingly close to 5.21m, a height that would have marked a new personal best.

Back-to-Back For Nemiah

Women's Competition

Nemiah Munir won the women's Vault Over Bucharest competition, claiming back-to-back victories in a tightly contested women's competition.

Nemiah and Tilly both cleared 4.21m, with the victory decided on countback. Munir secured the win thanks to a first-time clearance at 4.21m, while Hooper cleared on her second attempt — the single miss proving decisive.

Fresh from her third-place finish at the British Championships last weekend, Jade Ive secured third place with a first-time clearance at 4.01m.

Standout Performances Across the Field

Nathan Mobbs won the men's 'B' competition with a new Scottish Indoor U18 record of 4.76m — adding 30cm to his previous best and moving to the top of the UK Under-20 rankings.

In the women's 'B' competition, Lottie Pinches claimed victory with 3.56m, achieving her second personal best in as many weeks.

The event welcomed 97 starters from 124 entries, representing eight countries, producing 30 personal bests and numerous season's bests.

We would like to thank all officials, volunteers, sponsors, supporters and everyone who helped make the day a success. Vault Over Bucharest is set to return this summer with its Summer Series events.
