Athens Olympic, Athletics, Mens Pole Vault Final

im in first grade and i cleared 8 ft so ha kerdut123

well see, im a sophmore girl and i started pole vaulting 3 weeks ago and i cleared nine in my first meet, that tells something.

ha ha ya narural talent is when ur team needs some one to vault at a invite bc the kid did not show so thay put me in never touching a pole befor and i got 7 feet that was 3 weeks ago and i now pole vault in track and run the 800 1600 and3200

ya i agree i run the 800 1600 and the 3200 and we where at a meat 3 weeks ago and this kid that vaults did not show so tha cotch asked me my weight. I was 135 and they had a 140 so i vauled that day and got 7ft then one day of practice then a meat the next day i got 8'6 and just last sat. i got 9 it took two weeks to move from 8'6 to 9 but its not as eazy but i have 2 more years and this one to progress.

I agree with you. I vaulted 9' after 3 months and I was told to me more than happy with that height in such a short time.

Pole vaulting is nothing like say, sprinting. Not to say that Sprinters don't have to work for many years to get to the Olympics. Pole vaulters careers are generally longer. For example: Sergei Bubka was 31 when he set the last PV WR. Asfa Powel is 26 and holds the 100m record.
Anyway, I totally agree with you. Long story short.

I love how people lie about how much they vault in the hopes that some other person on the internet will compliment them. Between this video and a number of others, I've seen dozens of people who claimed to have gotten over twelve feet their first time vaulting. This is not an easy sport. It takes hard work and generally a lot of time. Most people require a full season just to get over nine feet.

crazy my friend did the same thing their 1st meet lol

8'9" First meet first week. No coach until first meet. Soared over 8'9" but couldn't replicate jump again at 9'3".

lol, sorry, that's not really natural talent, i don't pole vault myself, but i have some people on my team that have hit 10 + feet their first week.

not bad though i did win my first meet at 10' 6'' 2 weeks after i first touched a pole

I believe I have a natural talent for pole vaulting. This is my first year of track and my 3rd week of pole vaulting and I can already make 7 feet.

6 meters is 19 feet 8 inches. not 18.

thats the biggest bunch of bull S**t that i have ever heard

good ol Bubka had a 20ft pole, but never used it because the energy return wasn't good enough

LOL I can only do 9 ft. D=

pole vaulting is soo much fun im a runner but ive tried it and it was awsome
