http://bbc.in/R57URl - Meet Dr William Bell, world record holder in pole vault - for his age group. The 90-year old is the father of former Olympic medalist Earl and is still jumping three times a week at his son's training facility in northeast Arkansas.

I found Dr Bell on a story about his son's training facility. Watch the full BBC News story at http://bbc.in/R57URl

    P.S. If seriously, he's probably more healthy, than most of the modern young people. Go, Mr. Bell, you're amazing!

    I actually thought about doing this again since college even though I'm over 50 now. The vault is mostly about running speed to the plant and Dr Bell has some speed going. It's great that a son can inspire his dad to continue to work on his vault 3 times a week. Looked like a family party on a Friday Night!
