I dunno if he still does, but Dolf Berle, masters vaulter, used to jump with a rubber ducky glued to the top of his helmet.

This explains a lot...

Dolf is also the Chief Operating Officer of the House of Blues. He got back into vaulting by accidentally meeting me. I was in the gym wearing a pole vault shirt and he asked me if I “used to pole vaultâ€Â

Dolf is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet.


I sincerely hope he sticks around the PV world.

I've jumped with him a couple of times in the Boston meets. He's a very good vaulter, and, yes the rubber ducky was there. Quite a character.
