Only 21 yo for this guy, but yet French Elite indoor champion and now French U23 indoor champion, since today, with "only" 5.60 m... but look at the clearence at this height :

I couldn't catch his third attempt at 5.85m cause of lack of memory on my card (should have been the #3 height world leading this winter), but trust me, the bar was passed, only his torso touched the bar on the way down, 1 or 2 cm too short from the ideal mark indeed.
To remark :
Kevin MENALDO, 21 yo, 1.78 m, 69 kg, 5.75 indoor (18 steps) (twice)
Renaud LAVILLENIE, 1.77 m, 68 kg and 5.70 indoor at the same age
and almost the same style...
So, I think we have to follow this guy very closely (trained by Gerald BAUDOUIN)...
