I'm kind of confused about this. I thought the record was 3.25 already

She had 3.5 at Utopia last summer that got turned down. IWWF ruled she ran over 4 ball.

I thought she was scores .5 at the ridge? Was that over ruled?

[thompjs]

IWWF ruled it 3.25, scorebook of tournament was 3.5

I feel like I just won the internet...I was right

They might have made her some money. I wonder if she gets a bonus each time she breaks it? Reminds me of Sergey Bubka. He used to break the pole vault record one inch at a time to maximize his bonus money

[Horton]

Soooo old record was 3?
