Shades of Olympic trials in Edmonton.

Of note, shoe tech has gotten advanced enough that there really is no danger of slipping on a wet track. Of course that goes away when the track doesnt get a chance to drain and the water pools.

When is the PV?

I love watching pole vault. Speed, power, grace and a remarkably high probability of catastrophe/hilarity.
