Chandigarh, February 11

A 12-second clip of a man doing Olympic level pole-vault with a ladder and a cot has gone viral.

The video was shared by the Twitter page Fit Bharat with the caption: “Indian style Pole-vault… And this can happen only in village games of our Punjab. Note – Don’t try without proper coaching and supervision. #TuesdayMorning(sic)”

Major Surendra Poonia re-tweeted the clip, which is from a competition in a rural Punjab.

In the video, the man can be seen running towards the pole so that he could do a “desi style” pole vault.

However, if you look closely you will notice that the pole has been made by attaching a cot on top of a ladder, and it is taking three people to hold it together.

What left people stunned was the slow-motion part of the video.

The ‘jugaadu’ pole blew Twitter’s mind. Have a look at the comments.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
