But we have been to the Pole and we shall die like gentlemen. I regret only for the women we leave behind. ↗

I fear we have shot our bolt - but we have been to Pole and done the longest journey on record. ↗

The strategy of my coach and me was that we looked at pictures of all the best pole vaulters from around the world, and we took the best parts from them, and we created a person that had never existed. We then started to work toward being such a person. ↗
