I love the image at the bottom of the article. The vaulter barely gets his rear-end above his shoulders (never gets inverted) and his grip is about 2 feet higher than the bar.

Yeah, and his trail leg is just horrible... and he switches hands during the swing (look closely!)... I'm pretty sure BW doesn't do THAT.

Sorry powerplant, I don't see it. Looks to me like a right handed vaulter all the way. (Not a very good one however.

i can see it too, but i think its just because they made the guy compleatly white, so until the turn you really cant tell if it is left or right handed... needs more shading
