What makes you think that? Sure, he didn’t have the greatest of seasons last year, but he’s starting to find his form in 2024. His in season times are around the same as what he recorded during 2021, and his recent 10.09 SB in Ostrava was in damp conditions.

What’s wrong with Men’s Pole Vault?? Winning result at 5.90??? I was hoping these guys would have stepped up.
