There should be an XX sry check for every women's national or international competition, and for every women's record.

If the field was crowned, that might be necessary for a level runway
From what I've heard, the field is only used for track/soccer and is not crowned, but they built the runway over the javelin runway, which seems like it could result in the pole vault runway being crowned.
The thing is, the rule basically just says it has to be level between the back of the runway (at a specific point) and the front of the runway. It's not necessarily illegal to have a crown in the middle of your runway. This is a huge issue at Sac State, where there is a big crown, but apparently their runways are legal.
Arrived at the track the day before the meet while everything was being set up. There were surveyors on the runway, so I'm assuming they ensured it was legal.

And the rumors I heard were that they were scrambling to try and get it surveyed after the meet. Funny how anonymous rumors work.
Keep this thread from being useless:
So from what you're all saying, it sounds like she set a record for pole vaulting inside a bouncy castle.
For the IAAF the survey of the runway must be made with an EDM that has a recent calibration certificate.
Records set at shopping centers and in "last night set up runways" or in "super small meets" which wasn't on any calendar listed previously, should not count.
For high level athletes such as Sandi and others the IAAF has the Diamond League or IAAF Challenge series of competitions. Go there where the competition level is high and jump as much as you can. Then we respect the record.
So simple as that.
