This vid is from across the field - from the stands - low near the finish line, and the shotput scoreboard obscures most of his run.

I can't see it here, but on the TV replay, he had very good height over the bar, and scraped it on the way down.

By "very good height" I mean potentially > 4" to beat Bubka's 6.14!

here's a link to a better YouTube video (from the other side of the track): http://youtube.com/watch?v=tTTObDoDAag

yea! hes been goin from 8 for years. but the 9 deffinetly helps and i think that will also show that its not going to be a once in a lifetime hieght for him. the longer runs really helpin him out.
