Brad Walker 6.00m in Germany

[achtungpv]

I have 14 on my list. Maybe 2 of those were indoors only?

Ecker and Galfione vaulted 6m indoors only.

For what it's worth, Galfione also has a beach vault of 6m that's mysteriously absent from the list.

Walker soars over six meters


Pole vaulter Brad Walker's tremendous 2006 season continued with a barrier breaking, world-leading performance Wednesday in Jockgrim, Germany.

Walker became the 12th man in history to clear six meters (19 feet 8.25 inches) to easily win the competition over Australia's Paul Burgess (5.82m/19-1) and Germany's Tim Lobinger (5.73m/18-9.50). Walker, who won the gold medal at the 2006 World Indoor Championships in Moscow, bettered his previous career best clearance of 5.96m/19-6.50 from last year's meet in Rieti, Italy.

I emailed Alex Parnov, because I knew he'd be filming... he has Vicky's 4.32 jump, and Brad's previous two jumps, but he missed the 6.00 jump

Hopefully someone else got it!

Talked with Brad today and he said he has video of his 6 meter jump. When he gets back Becca try and get hold of him and get it.

Oh. Yeah, that is interesting, isn't it? Sometimes, they're funny about ratyfying these jumps.
