Re: 1984 Olympic Pole Vault Final
good morning,
thanks Becca...
Mike's calves started to cramp… he/we knew (maybe) he had one good jump left at 19 feet..
That jump is not on this video.. very, very close miss.. barely got it on the way down and it rolled off…
Dwight is in the ‘twilight zone” about the pole!! Same pole just bad wind and cramps.. not the same speed to move the pole…
The last jump was calf cramps..
Some may remember that Quinon took two poles back to the start of his run… the wind picked up so Peron (coach) yelled for him to grab the bigger one.. it worked he got Gold..
Still a great day for Mike.. to be within 5cm of Gold (5cm standard setting to far back)
