Brad will vault on Sunday; Bernard apparently shuts it down...

Pole vaulter Brad Walker is one of eight men on the start list for Sunday's pole vault competition at the IAAF World Athletics Final, which starts Saturday in Stuttgart, Germany.

You can watch both days of the meet online at wcsn.com.

Meanwhile, Bernard Lagat has called it a season, and has opted not to run in what essentially is a home meet for him, as he's based in nearby Turbingen.

Although admittedly, this is the end of the season and athletes are dragging, there's $3 million in prize money to be had.
