I've read in an interview with her that she had cleared 5m. I think this picture leaves no doubt in anyones mind....i'm simply amazed
Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. - Muhammad Ali

Talent in cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.

35 (cm) * ± $50.000 = ....

he probably said hard bar because as i found out, other countries don't all call them bungees......they call them "soft bars"....something i hadnt heard before

why would any athlete or their coach ever go about saying they have jumped 35cm! or about 14 inches over their pr in practice?

come on stacy, youve got a record or two more in you

Digiste que la edad de la muchacha solamente es veinte-y-dos?? (Y dos palabras...caca?)
That's Jodie!!

A scripture that makes me think of all you girls and guys pole vaulting....

Habakkuk 3:19
The Sovereign LORD is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to go on the heights.
