Wow, great perfomance by that guy. I never thought jumping that high is possible with hopping. I cleared 2.21 m last week.

I uploaded 2 videos on youtube, u find them here.

I'm afraid because of the lack of speed it's not possible for me to get my leg up in the air and turn around above the bar. I would have to practice that. We will see if I decide to work on that. As Rebecca already said, I'm more into high jump. There are no competitions in pole vaulting for amputees.

The second video shows not only pole vaulting. It is a decathlon where I participated in 7 events. 6 of them are on the video.
