                                             Renaud Lavillenie failed in qualifying in Doha.

Great hope lights in Doha, Renaud Lavillenie has not passed the qualifying Friday at the opening of the World Indoor. Damien Dossevi (pole vault), Virginia Michanol (400m) and Nicolas Fillon (400m) also failed. Not Kevin Hautcoeur to 800 meters.

«I have a little revenge from last summer"Renaud Lavillenie assured before the start of World Indoor Doha on Friday. A revenge on Steven Hooker, sacred pole vault at the World Outdoor. Except that the opposition to the king of Australia was cut short. Best performer of the year until then with a leap of 5.85 meters, Renaud Lavillenie spent the first shot at a bar 5M45 to start. But he suffered three failures in the face of 5m60! The bronze medalist of World Berlin, leader of the delegation tricolor in the Gulf, has taken the stage door of qualifications ... "Maybe I was almost too much in form, Regretted it in words echoed by the website of the French federation. I find myself handicapped by a lengthy break in the first test 5m60 because of a technical failure. "

"It hurts"
"This failure is difficult to explain, he continues. Indoor skills are something to share.It's a big disappointment. It takes at least one in his career for what it is and to correct this. But it always hurts when one takes in the "mouth". I'll try to quickly forget about it for a good start on Barcelona. Where it fucks me the "hook" is that it was the only competition with a real competition with Hooker. It is the job that comes.» Unfortunately for the pole lights, Renaud Lavillenie has been imitated by his compatriot Damien Dossevi. The latter needed three attempts to pass 5m30, before biting the dust three times with 5M45. He finished last out of the competition and therefore also as the qualifications. Steven Hooker has meanwhile needed just a jump to qualify and take the lead. A jumping 5m60.

Among men, Nicolas Fillon has suffered the same fate by finishing fourth in his series (48''28). "I was well in the heatRecalls there. Initially, I really pushed. But in the 100, I was already heavy and, at 300 meters, I was dead. It was not until the entry ramp to Kevin Hautcoeur (finally) see a blue pass the first hurdle. The latter won his heat in the 800 meters in 1'50''61. And despite "two laces undone. I had strange sensations, the feeling of running barefoot. I understood why at the finish!
