Bubba in haste - The piece is in the elite section -initial piece by Agapit - question on what it takes to jump 6.40 - issue of the way the left ARM is used to set up a 6.40 vault. It is not about the hand - that is a completely different issue but important because it sets the arm up to do what is described in my reply to USMC Sargeant ;) Perhaps another post if anyone interested.

Hey i have a ? for altius and agapit. In the vidieo of bubka jumping 6.11 he swings to just above his ankles then does the "bubka"(like the drill) motion of extending along the pole. This semms like a some what "passive" motion to me. Would it be more efficient to stay-for the lack of a better word-longer through out the swing and make contact with the pole at the knee or above the knee(on the thigh)?

Robert S -It is definitely not a passive motion. As long ago as 1985 Petrov described this innovative aspect of his technical model and it is a very active movement in which the shoulders are driven back towards and pad and the hips punched upwards. It is the third 'stage' of energy input in thie Petrov/Bubka model. it keeps the pole flexed for milliseconds longer - and positions the athlete close to the pole as it recoils so that the energy return is as efficient as possible. ;)

with the "longer" swing, what would happen is inefficiency in the center of gravity of the vaulter getting outside of the "sweet spot" of continuously rollin' that pole over.. you can see that he's stayin' nice and close to the pole, therefore energy is conserved
