Even Bubka and Isi have plenty of flaws. Just not as many as the rest of us! ;)

Just to clarify, these are two videos of one person.


And also, I'm no expert but I do agree with you Kirk. However, I wouldn't say "plenty". ;)

Andy, I think we're referring to two 18-year-olds - Blake Luca and Jack Whitt.

Kev is Jack Whitt's father.

Terribly sorry... I should have read everything thoroughly before I posted.

Yeah. It would be a bit worrying, if he had no flaws at all, and jumped 5.55..... Jumping 5.55 and with some flaws, means plenty of potential for improvements. I wish him the best!
