Officially Deron & Martin both got 6.49 in Hawaii. That was actually a good time for Martin, in Ibiza he only did 5.12. Comp's are tough ! Can't compare to training, or records set in Ideal conditions.
Does anybody know what the longest static is anyone's ever done in an international comp ?
I can't find results for the one in Nice, the longest static I found was 7.00 by HUBERT MAIER in Ibiza 2001. I think Deron's static may be the second or third best static ever in an international comp. To be fair you probably shouldn't even compare Team competitions to Individual competitions like Cyprus will be.
There may be quite a few people now that have hit over 7 in training, much less have gotten over 7 in comps, and how many in an international comp ??
Sounds like Stephane has the best competition static now with
8.02, but look at Hawaii last year he only did 6.17. I think if Herbert wanted to win the statics I'd bet money on him. But will he care about winning, or does he want a record ?
There may be a few going all or nothing for a record, be interesting to see what happens.
Cheers,
Wal
