Hi I'm Umpire.Today I'm going to share with you the Evolution of Pole Vaulting.
Pole Vaulting is a tricky sport , to do it you need a lot of upper body strength.
Pole Vaulting wasn't always a sport. It was used to get over high objects in battle.
The Pole used to be steel so the athletes didn't have a lot of elasticity which men't the
World Record was only 4.5 m high, but now that we have carbon fibre poles meaning the
World Record is 6.17 m high.
