Slo-mo video shows Paul Babits clearing M45 WR

Paul Babits, 47, sets vault records as often as I get haircuts. But lately his big jumps have been at home in Indiana, where he coaches at the Vault High Athletics indoor facility. Nobody doubted his ability, but it’s nice to see him scale huge heights outside his comfort zone in Fort Wayne. Here’s a video of his makes at 4.90 (16-1) and 5.01 (16-5 1/4). (Disregard the figures on the screen.) Paul gets perfect verticality!
