Brad Walker 5m83 [19-1½]

Re: Brad Walker 5m83 [19-1½]

I do not know what is the record for the 8 steps.

That's 4 lefts. A normal 'short-approach' is typically 5 lefts and a full approach is 8 or 9, so a 4 left jump that high is stratospheric. Anyone know what Bubka could do from short approaches?

The record is for the home pole vault, of course it does not mean a lot, as Renaud and his teammates (Stanley Joseph and his elder brother Valentin) are the only ones who compete here.

I do not know what is the record for the 8 steps.

Is the 'wr' the home pole or the 8-step aspect?

Re: Brad Walker 5m83 [19-1½]

According to his twitter account, Lavillenie has now the WL as he cleared 5,84 from 8 steps using his home pole vault.

And 5,53 for Valentin Lavillenie.

This is more a joke (home pole vault is not an official event), but it seems lavillenie is in good shape.

Anyone know how those 6m attempts looked? Was he close?

He said they were not great attempts.
