Pole Vault Quiz
The pole vault is an exciting and challenging track and field event in which athletes use a long, flexible pole to vault over a high bar. The event begins with the vaulter sprinting down a runway while gripping the pole. As the vaulter plants the pole into a special box, they use its energy to propel themselves upward and over the bar.
The pole bends during the jump, and as it straightens, it launches the athlete into the air. Vaulting requires a combination of speed, strength, flexibility, and technique. Athletes must clear a height set by the competition rules without knocking the bar off its stand. If they do, they move on to the next round.
The pole vault is unique because the pole serves as both a springboard and a tool for vertical leap, offering one of the most visually captivating moments in track and field competitions.
