High Jump
1. Blanka Vlašic, 108
2. Ariane Friedrich, 59
3. Yelena Slesarenko, 55
4. Vita Palamar, 51
5. Ruth Beitia, 46
6. Marina Aitova, 38
7. Anna Chicherova, 36
7. Tia Hellebaut, 36
9. Ekaterina Savchenko, 32.5
10. Chaunte Howard, 32
Vlašic is the overall points leader for all events, men and women. She goes to all the biggest meets, is undefeated, and regularly jumps higher than any other active jumper’s PR. American Howard should climb the ranks as she continues to improve in her return to competition after having a baby.
Pole Vault
1. Jennifer Stuczynski, 64
2. Yelena Isinbayeva, 48
3. Yuliya Golubchikova, 45
4. Monika Pyrek, 36
5. Svetlana Feofanova, 34
6. Silke Spiegelburg, 33
7. Carolin Hingst, 31
8. Jillian Schwartz, 29
9. April Steiner, 28
10. Fabiana Murer, 27
So how can World Indoor champ and world-record-holder Isinbayeva rank below Stuczynski? The American competes a lot and has been tremendously consistent, whereas the Russian hasn’t jumped much and has made a big height just once.
Triple Jump
1. Yargelis Savigne, 51
2. Hrysopigi Devetzi, 42
3. Marija Sestyak, 42
4. Olga Rypakova, 29
5. Adelina Gavrila, 27
6. Olesya Bufalova, 23
7. Olga Saladukha, 22
8. Oksana Udmurtova, 21
9. Yamile Aldana, 21
10. Anna Piatykh, 19
The first four match their order of finish at the World Indoor championships. Don’t ignore Tatyana Lebedeva, who has competed in this event just once so far this year.
Long jump rankings are not available at this time.
