All i have to say is congrats to her as that is an awesome jump and I'm extremely excited that this year, an olympic year, will probably be the first time a women (there are a couple who are within range), will jump over 16'

had the thought crossed anyone elses mind that us here in the U.S.A might be the only people that are really getting worked up about a woman to clear 16 feet. I mean, track and field is metric around the world. And unless you come to the u.s. and for some weird reason they use feet instead of meters then I would imagine that the real goal for women around the world ( especially the russians) would be 5 meters... not 16 feet. Anyone else get what Im saying. I remember reading a quoat somwhere of Bubka saying that women pole vaulting will not really hit a level as competative as the guys until a woman goes over 5 meters. Just like when a guy finally jumped over 6 meters. I dont know, I guess it takes some excitement out of the sport when the world record gets broken like 5-6 times a year..... I say 5 meters or bust... anyone get what Im saying?
Just fly high, and KISS THE SKY!!!

I agree, after thinking about it, it does make a lot of sense, but for our American standards, regardless of how they view it, I believe it will be a big mark from an american standpoint, though 5m does make a lot more sense on an international level. But anyway, with how well they're jumping this early, who's to say that 5m isnt right around the corner?
