Bhubaneswar, May 4 -- The new indoor stadium here proved to be a happy hunting ground for Tamil Nadu pole vaulter Baranica Elangovan as she improved her own five-week-old national record during the inaugural Indian Indoor Open Combined Events and Pole Vault Competition here on Sunday.
Baranica cleared 4.23m to better her previous national record of 4.22m set at the inaugural edition of the National Indoor Championships held in the last week of March at the same venue.
The 29-year-old cleared 4.23m on her third attempt. "It was another good day for me," said Baranica, who has shifted base from Tamil Nadu to Bhubaneswar.
