Event 8 - Pole Vault - Results
13.1
Honcho – Actually goes under the bar his so far off…
Nielsen – Pass
Ginsberg – Pass
Bafou – strains hard to generate leverage…he hits the bar and coming out of the pit, he’s grabbing his lower back. Looks like he might have pulled something.
Peltonen – clears this height with room to spare
Honcho – goes for his second attempt…he’s up, the pole bends…and I don’t mean flexs…it bent…he come crashing down hard on the edge of the cushion…that was ugly and scary. The trainers are tending to him. They help him out of the pit and he’s headed into the locker room…we’ll have to wait and see how bad he’s hurt.
Obviously the wear and tear of this meet is taking its toll as the injuries are starting to pile up.
Honcho – after getting his maximum time allotted for injury treatment Honcho is out to try again…he’s clearly banged up as his speed down the runway is not where it was on his first two attempts – that can’t help. He plants and really strains his muscles to get up – and – OVER! He cleared…
Bafou – on his second attempt he clears the bar, but his back is definitely bothering him…we’ll have to see how much it impacts him performance moving forward.
