world Men Pole Vault History

Venue: Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum 93,607.
19 competitors from 13 nations.
Qualification
World Record: 5.90m Serhiy Bubka, Soviet Union London, Great Britain 13th July 1984
Olympic Record: 5.78 Władysław Kozakiewicz, Poland Moscow, Soviet Union 30th July 1980
Sergey Bubka, the setter of seven world records in 1984, and Konstantin Volkov, were the two best in the world, but the Soviet boy- cott deprived them of possible medals. The US magazine Track and Field News reviewed the event as “the USA versus France”, with Vigneron, Bell and Tully the likely medallists. At 5.60 these three and Pierre Quinon were the only men left. Quinon and Tully passed and the other two cleared first time. Then at 5.65 Tully cleared after Quinon had failed once. The Frenchman then passed on to 5.70 along with the other two. Quinon, with only two attempts available at 5.70, cleared first time, while Bell and Vigneron failed, to finish equal third. Tully already had the silver, but watched Quinon clear 5.75 first time. The American passed to 5.80 as a first time clearance at 5.75 by him would not be enough to win. Tully had made 5.81 at the same facility in the US Trials, but on this occasion 5.80 was just too much.
