At the 'Cosma Indoor Cup', Lithuanian athletes dominated the podium, securing half of the winners' trophies across ten events. Rugilė Miklyčiūtė, a 17-time national record holder in pole vaulting, emerged victorious in her category, clearing a height of 4 meters and 21 centimeters. Following her win, Miklyčiūtė aimed to surpass her previous record set last month by attempting to clear 4 meters and 41 centimeters, demonstrating her commitment to excellence in the sport.

During her record attempt, Miklyčiūtė soared above the target height but ultimately clipped the bar during her descent, which prevented her from securing the record. Despite this setback, she expressed optimism about breaking the record, citing the need to fine-tune her technique to ensure a successful clearance in future competitions. The atmosphere at the event was heightened by a large crowd, which Miklyčiūtė noted contributed to the exhilarating experience, filled with adrenaline that comes from competing before an engaged audience.

Overall, the event showcased not only the athletic prowess of Lithuanian competitors but also highlighted the high-quality facilities at the modern Presidential Valdas Adamkus sports hall, where the competition took place. Miklyčiūtė praised the 'Conica' surface, recognized as one of the best in the world for track and field events, underscoring its comfort and suitability for high-performance athletics. The success of the athletes and the excitement of the event suggest a bright future for Lithuanian athletics as they continue to strive for national and international records.
