Re: Golden Gala - Isinbayeva 5.03 New World Record!!

Should be some good stuff! I don't think this record will stand for very long... Anyone else with me on that one?


If you mean that she will break it again the soon, then yes I am with you.

Re: Steve Hooker's Beijing Bound Diary

Wow... on the vid it looked like he missed his takeoff, hesitated on the swing, fell off of the top and still put up a 5.90m+ jump. This olympics is going to be oh so fun to watch. All of these results and videos of Hooker, Walker, Lukyanenko and others just make me wish more that I could be there t...

Re: POLE VAULT WOMEN - WHO WILL GET - the medals in Beijing?

I think I'm finally ready to make my call.

1) Isi
2) Pyrek
3) Stu


A lot of people love Jenn, and I do too, but Isi is ready to drop 5.15m if neccessary and there isn't anybody else close to that level.

Re: The Bryde Bend (Jump to the Split)

Mr. Bryde, First, I apologize for the misspelling of your name. I suppose I should explore the possibility of a mild case of Dyslexia. My most sincere apologies. Now let's get down to business. You lost me here, as I can't find "gleut" in the dictionary, and I'm not sure what you mean by &...

Kirk - I very much enjoy reading this. I have many questions, but here is the first: Let's first consider a long jumper who jumps off of their right foot (for the sake of using Carl Lewis as and example).

WOW.... a confident, definitive clearance at 6.01m to say the least. When he jumped like three PRs at last year's world championships including one just to make the final, I was thinkin "look out for this kid". I think we will see 6.05m out of him before the Olympics. That being said, I th...
