world Men Pole Vault History

Venue: Stade Olympique de Colombes 45,000.
20 competitors from 13 nations.
Qualification
World Record: 4.21m Charles Hoff, Norway Copenhagen (DEN) July 22, 1923
Olympic Record: 4.09 Frank Foss, United States Antwerp (BEL) August 20, 1920
The finalists qualified by clearing 3.66, but the world’s top vaulter Charles Hoff (NOR) was missing, inhibited by a foot injury. He com- peted only in the 400m and 800m. Ralph Spearow then became favourite, but he had an off-day; in November he would clear 4.19 in Japan. Barnes won the gold medal in a jump-off with Graham, and was the youngest-ever pole vault winner at 17. Graham’s son James made the 1956 Olympic team, but graciously handed his Olympic spot to Bob Gutowski after being hobbled by an injury. Brooker ensured a clean sweep for the USA after beating the excellent Petersen in a jump-off.
