In that episode Robin told everyone in the group she was upset because she found out she could "never become a pole vaulter"

So when ted says

quote:
your aunt Robin never did become a pole-vaulter


it means

quote:
your aunt robin never had kids

I think you are reading too much into that IMO. The entire episode was everyone thinking actual pole vaulting. She never told Ted at any point her situation. Hes addressing his kids and they would know if Robin had kids or not. He didnt say "as you know robin never became a pole vaulter" he says she didnt do one random thing but did do all this other (including some random) stuff.
