That’s a great article, He’s an inspiration to so many American vaulters, and when he turns 40 he’s going to push that record up so high it will never be broken again....

If he is still jumping. From talking to him, it sounds like he has little interest in master's records. I think when he retires he is going to be done.

But I hope he still is jumping at 40!
