[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]His leg hit the bar first. (Not his third leg, one of the other two lol). [/quote] Yes this story is a media invention. Vaulters need to obtain height and the right amount of depth as well. My college roommate was a 17 foot vaulter and later in life an executive engineer who has on the side developed a system for vault instruction. I remember him telling me he was constantly balancing height against obtaining sufficient depth away from the box. Made me recognize that running 4 laps around the track at 60 seconds a lap was far easier than the technical skills required for vaulting. [/quote]
