world Men Pole Vault History

Venue: Olympic Stadium, Amsterdam 31,600.
20 competitors from 13 nations.
World Record: 4.30m Lee Barnes, United States Fresno (USA) April 28, 1928
Olympic Record: 4.09 Frank Foss, United States Antwerp (BEL) August 20, 1920
Barnes had improved Carr’s 1927 world record of 4.27 to 4.30 in April, and had won the US Trials – on countback from Droegemuller and Carr – with 4.11. After nine men made 3.66 in qualifying, the final was start- ed at 3.50, but 3.80 was needed to eliminate Julius Müller (GER). When the bar was raised to 4.10, only five men were left, with Victor Pickard the only non-American. After clearing 3.95 on the third attempt, Carr and Droegemuller both made 4.10 first time, and then watched as the other three failed three times. Third to fifth was decided by a jump-off, with Barnes placing fifth – very much an off-day for a man who cleared 4.11 in 10 competitions in 1928. At 4.20m Carr cleared first time to take the gold medal.
