His coach said he didn't take them up. I assume that means he either ran through or bailed on all of them.

He would have set a world record with no problem. My estimate of this jump was 6.30 - 6.35, which would shatter the long standing record.
We are all behind you Brad, I see big things for you at the Olympics!! Go USA!

Re: Brad Walker 5.90
It was a great jump, but the camera angle was terrible for trying to estimate how high over the bar he was...
