Did anyone see on jeopardy tonight on one of video questions?
They had a question about the 'science' of pole vaulting.!!!
It was at duke- They filmed someone doing a jump( looked like a short run on a pacer carbon FX)......... but ya, it was sweet!

no they paused right when he planted, and the question was. "What is this part of the jump called"

Seriously? Whatever it was, did they get it right?

Toby made Sportscenter's Ultimate Highlight on Monday.
(I put that here because of the TV subject matter.)

Takeoff to landing then some toby-esque celebration.
There was a high jumper in there and a sprinter, I think Shawn Crawford, too.
It was from Road to Eugene.

Well, it isn't a full highlight of the competition, but that is better than vaulting usually gets.
