Peg Length

Guys & Gals - tough - live with it- not the exact words - IAAF Council "agreed that no changes were necessary, despite compliants from a group of elite athletes." - looks like it is here to stay - vault high everyone - :yes:

It really doesnt bother me. The pegs are shorter, no big deal. The only concern is the records that were on the old pegs.

What I would like to know is what is their rationale for this rule? I don't think anyone knows why this rule was put in place in the first place? I can accept it but I'd like to know why.

The World record cannot be beaten with a maybe vault it has to be a clean jump the motion on the table came from the committee headed by Bubka. He has his reasons mostly to keep the event clean and without volzing and “maybeâ€Â

At least our pegs don't look like the pegs on HJ standards. :eek: Oops, probably shouldn't give them any ideas.
