Nice prank.....I did have my suspicions initially, but I fell as hard as anyone else. I really thought Jacob Davis was going to come back and turn some heads, but I later found that that was impossible considering he weighs about 270 now. He really is the only vaulter that fit the bill: Married, 2 kids, wife would not support his vaulting etc etc.. Oh well, I guess it was fun while it lasted. I would like to know who the elites are that were nervous about the comeback kid though. I bet they thought it was Jacob. After all, the guy jumped 5.90 not even wanting to vault. Nicely done Ash and Dev.
