I thought you measured records before the jump then after the bar is replaced on a miss, measuring after a make should not be done. Did they forget to measure prior to the attempt?
No idea, I only know what I read in the article:
http://www.runnerspace.com/gprofile.php?mgroup_id=44531&do=news&news_id=422532I'd be interested to know more as well. I just started wondering to myself, "How many high schoolers out there in the high jump and pole vault have PRs that are slightly better or worse than they think because of incorrect measurement?" I guess maybe a quarter of an inch doesn't really matter that much, but you could say the same thing about 1 second in the mile right?
