world Men Pole Vault History

Venue: Athens Olympic Stadium, Marousi 72,000.
Quota: 35 competitors from -- nations.
All 16 finalists cleared 5.70 in the qualifying round, and the 5.65s of Romain Mesnil (FRA) and Matti Mononen (FIN) would have been enough to reach any previous Olympic final. Others to miss out includ- ed six-metre vaulters Okkerts Brits (RSA) and 2001 World Champion Dmitri Markov (AUS). Nine countries were represented in the final, with Germany, Ukraine and the USA each with a full complement of three. All finalists made 5.55, and Tim Lobinger, the German 6m vaulter, was the biggest casualty at 5.65. European Champion Averbukh was the next star to miss out, having made 5.65 for eighth place. At 5.85 there were still six athletes, though only three made it, led by Gibilisco, who astonished with his 2003 world title, and was almost as surprising here. Mack and Stevenson reacted by clearing 5.90 first time, with Stevenson taking the lead. Both men had close failures at 5.95, followed by less excellent efforts. Mack cleanly went over 5.95 at his last attempt. Stevenson again had a close miss, and Mack then tried 6.00 and was close with his final attempt. After winning just three medals between 1976 and 1996, the USA had won the top four medals of the six available in 2000-04.
