On the occasion of his 72nd birthday, I interview Gerard Dumas of Canada, who has jumped in competition every year since 1948. He also is closing in on his 1,000th competition. Incredible.

I would also like to extend birthday wishes. As a mediocre vaulter myself that has continued to jump continuously for 41 years I am very impressed and motivated to see if I can match your longevity record. It has been a fairly difficult task so far but I am aware and getting more aware year by year how much harder it gets each year. I know it will be very hard to reach your level of Iron man. I complement you on your streak and all the great work you have done for the pole vault for so many years. Good luck with the present year and I hope you can continue to jump for many more years.

At the risk of a possible mis-translation, I post what my wife has interpreted this to mean.
You didn't think I would let this pass!
Don't abuse the French wines too much!!!
Soon you will reach 1000 competitions!
