All Star Perche

All Star Perche is an annual indoor pole vaulting meeting which is typically held in February at the Clermont-Ferrand Sports Hall in Clermont-Ferrand, France. The meeting was founded by world record-breakers Sergey Bubka and Renaud Lavillenie in 2016. Its creation was a response to the cessation of the annual Pole Vault Stars meeting in Donetsk (also organised by Bubka) due to the War in Donbass.[1][2]

Organiser Lavillenie was the first men's winner at the competition, setting a meet record of 6.02 m (19 ft 9 in),[3] which was the second best indoor mark that year.[4] Two national records were also set at the first edition: Konstantinos Filippidis set a Greek record of 5.84 m while Robeilys Peinado set a Venezuelan record of 4.53 m. The 2017 edition was attended by around 4700 spectators and the meet was given European Athletics Indoor Permit Meeting status.[5] The 2018 meeting showed strength in depth in the men's competition, with seven men clearing 5.88 m, which included a world under-20 record for Sweden's Armand Duplantis. Katie Nageotte won the women's competition on countback, with both her and Anzhelika Sidorova setting a meet record of 4.86 m, while Ninon Guillon-Romarin set a French record of 4.76 m.[6] Piotr Lisek of Poland won the 2019 meet with a world leading performance of 5.93 m while Anzhelika Sidorova and Angelica Bengtsson shared the women's title with clearances of 4.81 m (a Swedish record for Bengtsson).[7]
