Yeah you're right. I just remember when we trained together, he did pretty bad from 16, was jumping 520-540, then went to 14 and started jumping 570+. Maybe he got used to it later on. I see some other videos as well.

His full aproach is 14 steps so it makes sense.

Tina won Slovenian nationals this weekend with a new national record of 450!

Happened to me last year - I ranked second (I think) with 18'2" coming to regionals, couldn't even warm up because of the 40 vaulters qualified to our region, finished 13th. Went back to Europe, jumped 18'4" there and qualified for the Worlds in Osaka. What I think of the qualifying system...

I was looking at some of the indoor tracks throughout the world (the small ones) and was wondering if there is a rule on how high the ceiling has to be in the area of approach? If there is no rule, could it be less than 10 feet - then nobody could carry the pole during the run, but the conditions wo...

Anyway, I can't think of a German whose technique I'd like to copy personally. That's a pretty harsh statement. They have two six meter vaulters and they have a lot of other excellent vaulters.

This is only one of them. They even have a machine to do the whole jump without running!

Ok so I'm training in Leverkusen right now with the best Germans, and they have so many different training machines for pole vault that it's unbelievable. Here is an example:

What happened??? I saw him taking the poles out of his bag when I was leaving the warm up track. Did he get hurt when he was jumping???

Northern Iowa has two vaulters going to Osaka this year - Jake Pauli; and me (Andre Poljanec), representing Slovenia! Did that ever happen before?

I'm trying to get into that Cuxhaven meet on July 14th. Other than that, my schedule is (scheduled to be): June 28th - Velenje July 8th - Padova July 14th - Cuxhaven July 22nd - Lapinlahti July 28th - Slovenian open nationals August 8th-18th Bangkok, University Games August 21st Osaka for three week...

Thanks!

I hope to see you on some big meets in the future, representing PoleVaultPower
