Don't think the pole had anything to do with why that jump was s***...Has this guy been reading a French translation of the Texas Pole Vault Manifesto?

Either special olympic vaulters or multi-eventers. I can't tell the difference.
Ba-zing. Normally I'd stick up for multis cause dec is really, really hard, but those guys were really, really terrible.

I hope that was a sound effect and not his hip.
I know which video this is without having too look...It makes me cringe so much I can't even watch it again. I think its his elbow or his wrist.

I was once at a meet where a guy fell backwards on the runway and broke both of his elbows and one wrist. Didn't see it happen, but everyone within about 500m heard it, and it sounded exactly like that. Much louder and sicker-sounding than a pole break.

I speak French, and the icing on the cake for me was the one comment in French "trop doues". That means "too talented". HAHAHA!

And then their 'meilleur athlete' (best athlete) is having trouble at like 7 feet! They should've just tried to high jump most of those bars...
