Teammate Dmitri Markov won the silver medal, with England's Steven Lewis winning bronze. Hooker sealed the competition with a clearance of 5.70 metres and went on to set a Games record with a leap of 5.80 metres. Hooker, who holds the best height in the world this year of 5.91 metres, tried valiantly to clear 6.01 metres for his home crowd, but never got close. Steve is a really nice guy and a skydiver - congrats!! For the Yanks here: The Commonwealth Games are a mini-Olympics for the nations of the British Commonwealth with participation of more then 70 countries and territories.--------------------------------------------------------- When people look like ants - pull.

stebah 0 #3 March 24, 2006 I pole vaulted in College and High School too. Every year my college has an alumni meet, and I compete in that as well. I was never that good though! It's nice to see there are a few pole vaulter/ sky divers. I always thought they were kind of related. -SteveTeam Website: www.rhythmskydiving.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
