Pretty good vault considering he took off under and planted in the right side of the box! Well done Wojciechowski

Umm... they did measure the bar, right? I would think so since it was a NR... That is HUGE to go from 5.60 to 5.86 in one day, and to make 5.86 with some height on it too.

Forgive me for being slightly skeptical... he does look like a talented young vaulter that is improving rapidly and is certainly capable of big PRs. Looking forward to seeing what he does in the future! :yes:

It was Ghent not El Paso.

He also had 5.65 & 5.75 PRs en route.

Read somewhere, that it was possibly the first competition ever, to have a 16 step run-up.
