This interview was done at the Nike Pre Classic Presser on Friday, May 27, 2016. Renaud Lavillenie was one of the Nike stars at the press conference. I asked Renaud if, perhaps, he made pole vaulting high too easy?
Renaud smiled and agreed, that perhaps jumping six meters looked way too easy. In fact, Renaud Lavillenie had cleared 5.80 meters 105 times so far in his career!
