Renaud Lavillenie is the first star name confirmed for the 34th Indoor Meeting Karlsruhe on 3 February, the opening stop in the six-meeting 2018 IAAF World Indoor Tour.
“The Indoor Meeting Karlsruhe will be the second meeting for me and it is immensely important for me,” said Lavillenie, the world record holder in the pole vault at 6.16m. “On the one hand, it’s an excellent meeting with great fans, but I also want to perform well in the run-up to the World Indoor Championships in Birmingham.”
