Entirely free of charge, Frenchman and world record holder, Renaud Lavillenie will be the star of the show, with a prestigious witness in the form of Ukrainian Sergue\u00ef Bubka.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThe idea began to form two months ago, after his world record. Renaud really wanted to get out and meet the public, <\/em>president of the FFA, Bernard Amsalem explained to the AFP. We told him he was on and we\u2019re supporting him in his bid to ensure that this meeting is a fine festival of pole-vaulting. There was one such meeting in the past, back in the days of Maurice Houvion and Jean-Claude Perrin, on the Eiffel Tower esplanade. Naturally, the presence of Renaud Lavillenie provides a great opportunity for communication with a week to go till the MEETNG AREVA, as well as showcasing pole-vaulting, which is a traditional discipline in France.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The operation has been given the simple name of \u201cParis Perche\u201d (Paris Pole-Vaulting). It will kick off from 0900 hours in the morning, with a series of activities dedicated to the youngsters, the clubs and the associations. From 1100 hours, Renaud Lavillenie will be lavishing advice on the young pole-vaulters whilst Sergue\u00ef Bubka looks on. The demonstration will run from 1500 hours. On the track will be some of France\u2019s finest pole-vaulters, including Renaud and Valentin Lavillenie, Jerome Clavier, Damiel Dossevi , Alexandre Ferger , Alexandre Marchand , Stanley Joseph, Nicolas Homo and Mickael Guillaume. Some of their triumphant elders may well be among their ranks too, the French pole vault family being large!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Reminder of the PARIS POLE VAULT programme : <\/strong><\/p>\n – 0930-1100hrs Pole Vault beginners session A brand new feature and a fine initiative: the MEETING AREVA in its 2014 version will begin a...","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[],"city":[],"class_list":["post-1225","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-paris-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paris.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1225","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paris.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paris.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paris.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1225"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/paris.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1225\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paris.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paris.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1225"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paris.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1225"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paris.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=1225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
