Row
Usually describes the movement of the arms closing up to the body like moving the oars of a rowing-boat, the term may be misleading as many athletes rarely row a boat, also there exist several types of oars and paddles that are not moved in the same way. It can obviously be observed that the hands of the stretched arms of the vaulter move from above his head to somewhere near his hips, it is however not obvious where he applies force and where this movement is a consequence of the swing.
