I feel that on that particular jump he was a little under and puts his hands a little too far in front when he swings. In my mind that makes his swing a little more "two staged" with a swing... then pull. It's just not as continous as i have seen from some other 6m jumpers. It depends how he was jumping the rest of the day though, obviously when you get pumped you can hit 3-6 inches under pretty easily. He is a hard vaulter to critique though, being one of the best EVER.
The greater the challenge, the more glorious the triumph

He has done a very fine job of continuing his growth and development in the coaching profession too. Because of this I send all my high school athletes to UW because of his professional growth. Too bad others and of the same caliber!
