You're correct. The first time I saw the commercial, something seemed wrong to me but I couldn't figure out what it was. When I got to watch it through a few times on NeoVault, I was able to confirm just what you saw.

Is it just me or does it look like it is filmed in a Baseball stadium. Look at the the background when Jeff is running and you can see you where they tried to hide the dugout. And you were right about it looking like a left handed vaulter.

I still haven't seen the commercial on TV. I was trying to figure out why, when I realized I never really watch TV anymore! :o

Pretty hard to watch TV while you're driving all over the country!

Heres something interesting. I was just flipping through my latest Sport Illustrated and came across that same Shell ad. Although the vaulter in this picture is not Jeff Hartwig.
Indiana has the best vaulters!!!

The print ad is Scott Slover and a horribly photoshopped bar and pole.
