Brad Walker competes in Lausanne...

Fresh off a victory in Gateshead, England on Sunday, pole vaulter Brad Walker will compete in the Lausanne Super Grand Prix Meet on Tuesday.

The reigning world champion, looking to erase the memory of no-heighting at the Beijing Olympics, faces a field that includes Yevgeniy Lukyanenko of Russia and Denys Yurchenko of Ukraine, the silver and bronze medalists at the Olympics.

He'll also face 2007 world championship silver medalist Romain Mesnil of France and Olympic teammates Jeff Hartwig and Derek Miles.
