Results from the 2008 IAAF World Indoor Championships JENN: At the 2008 IAAF World Indoor Championships in Valencia, Spain on March 8, 2008, Nutrilite-sponsored athlete Jenn Stuczynski brought home the silver medal in the women's pole vault with her clearance of 4.75 meters/15 feet 7 inches. Reigning Olympic and World champion Yelena Isinbayeva won the competition at the same height, but with zero misses, while Stuczynski had a miss at that height. Congrats!!!! 4.75 meters indoors is a personal best for Jenn!!! LIU: China's star hurdler and Nutrilite-sponsored athlete Liu Xiang finished first to snatch the title in men's 60-meter hurdles. Liu finished in 7.46 seconds winning the gold medal, his first of such event, though he is the world champion and world record holder in the outdoor 110-meter hurdles. Liu's biggest competition, Dayron Robles, was surprisingly eliminated in the heats. Dayron who last month ran the second fastest time ever of 7.33 seconds, was expected to give Liu a run for his money but stayed in his blocks and stood up at the start of his heat as the gun went, expecting a false start to be called. However, the judge did not call back the race. Dayron made a vain effort to try to get back into his running but finished last before leaving the track in tears.
