Selfish? That's preposterous. His strategy was tried and true. The rain began when he began to jump at what would have been his winning height. Worse, a powerful headwind pushed him back from clearing the bar. I was there and saw this happen. By Munich tie-breaking rules, he'd have received the gold. They used different rules, so he got the bronze.

You must have been a lot older than him. Once he was in high school, he never lost a championship at state or regional level. He left records all over Texas.

funny thing about this vault is yes he clears the bar but he actually misses the pit after that

I was standing beside the pit in Gainsville Florida march 28th 1975 when Dave
jumped 18'61/2 (5.65) . He was a beast.
What? Why does it cut before the end of the vault?
