HJ/JT combo

Re: HJ/JT combo

A few more notables...
Antonietta Di Martino - 2.03m/46.64m = 2073
Hellebaut - 2.05m/44.37m = 2056
Kluft - 1.95m/50.96m = 2050
Margaret Simpson - 1.85m/56.36m = 2025
Bergqvist - 2.08m/36.46m = 1918

So putting that all together and adding in some more, it makes for an interesting list. That's a massive gap between Spotakova and Di Martino though, I wonder if there are any 60m+ throwers out there with decent HJ PB's? Karin Forkel was athletic and I know Petra Felke had some greating training bests at 30m & standing jumps, but not sure whether eitehr competed in a HJ.

Spotakova 1.78/72.28 =2248
Antonietta Di Martino - 2.03m/46.64m = 2073
Barber - 1.93/53.10 = 2065
Hellebaut - 2.05m/44.37m = 2056
Kluft - 1.95m/50.96m = 2050
Braun 1.94/51.59 = 2049
Turchinskaya - 1.89/54.82 = 2030
Margaret Simpson - 1.85m/56.36m = 2025
Blokhina - 1.91/52.16 = 2021
Shouaa - 1.87/54.82 = 2021
Chernova 1.87/54.49 = 2014
JJK 1.93/50.08 = 2007
Schwarzkopf 1.83/55.25 =1978
Bergqvist - 2.08m/36.46m = 1918

Bill Miller, Javelin silver medallist in 1952. Threw 81.29 (266-8) in 1953 but that result was not ratified as a WR.

He was also a decent HJer with a best of 6-3 1/2. (that height was good enough for 8th place in the '52 Olympics).

Re: HJ/JT combo

On the women's side, off the top of my head, and using heptathlon scoring tables..

Spotakova 1.78/72.28 =2248
Braun 1.94/51.59 = 2049
Chernova 1.87/54.49 = 2014
JJK 1.93/50.08 = 2007
Schwarzkopf 1.83/55.25 =1978

We could add in Tessa Sanderson with 1.63 and 73.58, but it's the old JT I can imagine a few women that can throw in the 60's could beat 1.63.

Re: HJ/PV combo

Hey, guys, I am not in Mensa but the heading distinctly says HJ/PV. :?

I fixed the heading.

Re: HJ/PV combo

Apart from the erroneous PV in the title, there is nothing else in the initial post to indicate Pole Vault is part of this discussion.

Uhhhh??? That was enough for me. :?
No harm done.

Re: HJ/PV combo

Gabriela Mihalcea HJed 1.96 in 1987, and later went on to become a top class vaulter. She won bronze at the 1996 European Indoor Champs, and finished 4th at the Europeans in 1998. Her ultimate PB was 4.25 from 1999.

Re: HJ/PV combo

If it is HJ/PV, then back in my era Rick Sloan was one of the best at HJ – 2.14 (7-0½);
PV – 5.08 (16-8)

Re: HJ/JT combo

Wow! Comprehension surely isn't this much of a lost art. Apart from the erroneous PV in the title, there is nothing else in the initial post to indicate Pole Vault is part of this discussion.

The Rory Kotinek mention eludes to his 7-4 HJ/253-8 JT efforts while at UCLA I presume (taken from here: http://www.uclabruins.com/photos/school ... -top10.pdf).

That's 2.23 and 77.31 on my calculations (Old Jav). He ended up with all-time PR of 2.29.

That's how I read it too and that's why I''ll bring up Henry Wadsworth of Florida, a world class PVer from the early 60''. He beat Don Bragg on several occasions.

Wadsworth was also a fine HJer. Can't remember his HJ PB but it was substantial.

Re: HJ/JT combo

And the result referred to is actually a HJ/JT combo (which I'd also noticed in eTrack of last week or so). I don't think anyone but "noone" can change the subject title.

Re: HJ/JT combo

Better/comparable HJ/JT combos from some decathletes:

Christian Schenk: 2.27, 67.14
Jagan Hames: 2.30, 64.67
Attila Zsivoczky: 2.22, 66.79
Tom Pappas: 2.21, 66.56
Dan O'Brien: 2.20, 66.90
Lionel Suarez: 2.17, 77.47
Roman Sebrle: 2.15, 71.18
Mike Smith: 2.14, 71.22
Nicklas Wiberg: 2.13, 75.02

And try this combo on:
Peter Blank: 2.23 (in 1983 at 20), 88.70 (in 2001 at 39!!)

That's far from an exhaustive list. Just what I gleaned from looking at best decath HJ performances, best JT performances and associated bios on http://www.decathlon2000.ee/

Re: HJ/PV combo

I'll wager there is no one who can throw a vaulting pole 219 '.

[noone]

Re: HJ/PV combo

2.16, ok, but 66.80? 219-2?

Why the smiley face? There can't be many 7 foot high jumpers who can throw 219 feet, I wouldn't think..
