I realize the chart on this website is super old, but I'd love to see it updated! A 16 foot chart for women would be pretty cool, too. Anyone able to provide that kind of information??

Fix your pole drop. When you drop it early like that you have to lean back to counter-balance the weight of the pole, and it puts you on your heels (decelerating). You can even hear the difference in the sound your feet make over the last 4 steps.
Good luck!

One of the weaker finals lately IMHO. I'm going with Lavillenie, Kendricks and Da Silva respectively. I think a lot of the failures in prelims had to do with wind conditions, and I suspect the same will be true for the final. Renaud and Sam are consistent regardless, but the rest of the field is ske...

Anyone watching?? Cunningham BLEW UP 5.30 on his third attempt! And it looks like Marek Arents has a tennis ball over his pole tip??

I'm guessing Simmons' 5.72 mark is being accepted??

I'll bite. :devil: Men: Kendricks, Walker, Blankenship. Dark horse: Colwick! I think they will be hard to beat, but I'd really like to see some of the up-and-comers (Houston, Cunningham) have a good day, too. Women: Suhr, Morris (if healthy), Payne (if healthy). Dark horse: Clark. The three top wome...

I'm no orthopedic surgeon or physiotherapist

I am...if your problem continues please see a professional. Your parents most likely have insurance for problems like this. If for some reason you'd rather avoid the doctor, then feel free to team up with Shaq.

I would go see an orthopedic doctor and get an x-ray. Fractures are much more common than "pulled muscles" in your lower back. Kirk is right in either case, you will need a period of rest/immobilization. After feeling better and being cleared by a medical professional, your long-term techn...

The coverage was awesome, maybe the best I've ever seen. I wonder how much can be attributed to the general meet structure (PV only)?

Still looking for poles, definitely would like a 12' 160 or 165 as well as a 13' 150.

Happy New Year!
