NOTES The pole-vaulter, Aaron Kornylo, despite having only one leg

goes in for the Olympic trials.

I presume the actor who plays him has only one leg.



Brian Murphy emails with this information: This is a Canadian

movie about a young man who tries out for the high jump not

the pole vault. The actor Brent Carver is able bodied but his

amputee stand-in was Arnie Boldt a Canadian paralympian

who held the world amputee high jump record at that time. He

could high jump almost 2 meters.
