Ever wondered how athletes clear bars nearly 6 metres high using nothing but a bendy pole and pure momentum? This is your crash course in pole vault. We break down the run-up, the plant, the swing, and the bar clearance — the four phases that turn a sprint into flight. Learn how vaulters pick their pole, why grip height matters, and what separates a good jump from a world record. Watch the best of athletics live and free on Eurovision Sport.
