He clears 5,00 m for his first jump!

I have found this amazing story on Renaud Lavillenie's website.
http://www.renaud-lavillenie.com/

Renaud explained the basics of pole vaulting to 3 french rugbymen during 15 minutes, and one of them, Alexandre Lapandry, a 20 year old guy of 1,94 m and 101 Kgs
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandre_Lapandry
cleared 5,00 m on his first attempt.

May be he should give up rugby and do some pole vaulting?

Haha I don't speak French, but I can tell that the guy running awkwardly down the runway and the guy going over the 5m bungee were not the same person.
