Match that Murali!

Form is temporary. Class is permanent.

The Russian pole vaulter, Yelena Isinbayeva has been struggling for form since returning from her 2010 sabbatical. A new rival, Britain's Holly Bleasdale has made great improvements - her 4.87m vault in Lyon indoors made her third on the all-time world list.

But last night in Stockholm Isinbayeva showed her class by breaking the world indoor record with a vault of 5.01m. She also holds the outdoor record at 5.06m. Bleasdale came second with 4.72m and if she continues her progress could be a real shout for an Olympic medal.

But, as they say, and Isinbayeva has proved, form is temporary and class is permanent.

Which reminds me of what David Coleman said about Alberto Juantorena at the 1976 Montreal Olympics: 'The big Cuban opened his legs and showed his class'.

Target 5,000

The World Indoor Athletics Championships begin on 9th March in Instanbul and one of the stand out events is the women's pentathlon. The 60m hurdles, high jump, shot put, long jump then 800m will all be completed on the same day.

Chernova

Dobrynska

Ennis

The likley competitors have all been in fine form. Jess Ennis running the fastest 60m hurdles this year in Birmingham in a personal best time of 7.87 while World Champion Tatyana Chernova ran 8.02 in the Russian championships. Ennis got a PB of 6.47 in the long jump with Chernova jumping 6.61.

The invitees will be confirmed tomorrow but may well inlcude the Russian Yekaterina Bolshova who recently scored 4896 points and the Olympic champion Natalya Dobrynska who scored 4880 points at the Ukranian indoor championships. Ennis's PB is 4937 points. The world record is held by another Russian - Irina Belova with 4991 points scored 20 years ago.

We could well see a new world record and 5,000 points breached. I think Jess will prevail. Can't wait.

Extremely large wings

Watching the huge rampaging Alex Cuthbert ( 6' 6" and 16 st 5 lb) and George North (6' 4" and 16 st 5 lb) in the Six Nations reminds me of when the even huger Jonah Lomu burst onto the international scene, scoring four tries against England in the 1995 World Cup semi-final.

6 feet 5 and 19 stone 10. Poor Mike Catt didn't stand a chance!

Things aren't so great for Lomu now, as he needs a second kidney transplant after the first one he had in 2004 failed. Good luck with your search for a donor, big boy.
