The point of the discussion was to discuss the relevant efficiencies between Bubka and Mack.
If you are looking for the slowest and weakest vaulter to clear maximum height for his ability, I do not think Mack would qualify or even appreciate his name being mentioned in the list of candidates.
I believe what I said throughout previous posts is that given his speed in comparison to Bubka, Mack was able to use the energy produced in his vault more efficiently. You have never once heard me say that Mack was slow or anything remotely close.
Ok. Ok. Just tell me how he did it than.
LOL.
I have seen a vault in competition in Krasnodar by a Russian vaulter (Nikitin in 1988 or so) It was 5.65m (18'6") with a grip of 4.44m (14' 7"). He simply could not grip heigher, he was slow. That is 1.41m difference between grip and bar. How about this efficiency?
