Here after his 6.25 WR attempt in paris

It looks easy but DAMN its hard...
-
The amount of people pissed that he called the pole a "bar" is hilarious.
-
I was looking for this ❤️
-
I hope to never see someone jump on the bar

I miss pole vaulting,,, a sophomore in high school 13' 6" 1971,,, Eighth grade aluminum Pole 9' 9"

You need the sprinting ability of a 100 m sprinter, the explosive leg drive of a long jumper, the upper body strength of a weightlifter, the flexibility and twisting skill of a gymnast all in one.

Was I the only one that got anxiety at him saying “bar” over and over

Your calculations fail to take into account the energy expended by his core muscles to pull up his legs in the early phase of the vault and his arm muscles to push down against the pole at the final stages of the vault.

I’m hung up right now trying to figure out when they plant the pole, do they try to get it to bend in a certain direction, I think it bulges away from the side where the vaulter is gripping, right?

Going on and work that body King kinetics energy and all all righty now,⭐👍👏👏👏👑

The bar is what you are attempting to jump over. The pole is the tool used to help you clear the bar. Jeeez.

David, You try not to bend the "bar" and you don't jump with a bar, It's called POLE vaulting.
-
it is not only the kinetic energy that is converted to other forms...it is the push with the legs and rest of body using as a level the pole just before the jump, it is also the stength that is applied to bend the pole, it is also the arms action against the ground thru the pole before the final stage prior attempting to clear the bar

i need this background instrumental, whats the name?
-
"plants the bar" " bends the bar" "runs with the bar"🤣
-
How long can that pole be compared to the bar?
