Czech Balner wins in Silandro for the second time

Balner has a personal best of 5.82 m. In 2010 he won in Schlanders with 5.63 m, this time 5.55 m was enough for him to win. The Czech crossed this height in the first attempt, while second-placed Logan Cunningham from the USA managed the winning height in the second attempt and third-placed Italian Claudio Stecchi only managed the winning height in the third attempt. Fourth place went to the German Tobias Scherbarth (2 m), ahead of Ernest John Obiena from the Philippines and the Italian Giorgio Piantella, who both jumped 3 m. Manfred Menz from Merano from Athletic Club 5.40 Bozen failed three times because of the entry height of 5.20 meters.

A victory at the Vinschger Meeting is always particularly coveted by athletes. In 2015, Canadian Shawn Barber won, and a few weeks later he was crowned world champion. Last year, the Brazilian Thiago Braz da Silva even became Olympic champion in Rio after his victory in Schlanders.
