I can't believe what I've just witnessed. From half way that should not have been possible

I can’t watch pole vaulters, I keep thinking that poles going straight where it shouldn’t

This sport is apparently very big thing among Canadian women. You know meet a nice guy, vault some poles.

That is crazy! Whoever thought this up in the first place. Super cool

Is he going to make it, is he going to make it, okay he made it, don't fall on the stick, don't fall on the stick ... whew

I hate this gif everytime I watch it, it gives me anxiety the whole time.

I thought that pole was going to penetrate his anus. I am sad to see it didn’t.

For a second i thought the pole would impale him...
ImNotActuallyEvilAfterAll
Yeah, I was really disappointed when it didn't :(
attofreak
Yeah, thank god it fell sooner than him to get away that pointy edge. So many things could've gone wrong here.

That's me. Shit that was a tense watch...
Macish
Was genuinely concerned about where that pole was going to end up at one point there
Same, like this v
I was actually envisioning something a little further back than that. Less a knock to the nuts, more to the intestines.
Real q though. How come the stick doesn’t snap?

The pole is generally between 3.05 m (10 ft 0 in) - 5.30 m (17 ft 5 in) long. Suspect the longest one was used. That would make it (1)
kamikazehindenburg
You might want to factor in the world record of 6.14 m in your estimates.
Close enough? ;)
maybe 6 m - 6.5 m high. That's about 20 - 21 ft. (2/2)
Trackandfield101
6,50 would be a huge world record. And no one is ever gonna jump that. Maybe a 6,20 6,25 that's all

Armand Duplantis, SWE. Has a PB of 6.05 outdoors and is only 20 years old. Could perhaps challenge Bubka for the WR down the road.
Yote1963
When he can beat Chris Nielson! Two incredible vaulters!

sibooka
Isn't WR held by Renaud Lavillenie now ?
B2T1BG
Yes it is
Outdoor it's still Bubka who owns the record.
drGrafenberg
Yes it is. 11 cm higher than the jump in this video.
imgurj17
Why doesn’t he just use a bigger stick, he could smash that record with like a 10m stick
Would you get up?
I’m up right now
All I understood there is peanut butter.
GlowstickJedi
Oh stewardess, I speak Jive. He said "That man is Armand Duplantis, who is 20 years old and from Sweden. He has a personal best...
... pole vault of 6.05m achieved in an outdoor arena. Given his young age it's entirely possible he could challenge the world record of...
.. Sergey Bubka, one of, if not *the*, greatest pole vaulter of all time".
And here I am thinking my English is pretty good. Apparently not... Oh well

He's American and can't speak Swedish but he competes as a swede because there's less competition than in the us

Daaaaaaaaaaaamn
Right?
Well, as #2 in the world, he is still ranked ahead of all Americans except one, which is pretty decent.
He is American
DongSayaDae
With swedish citizenship - making him as much a swede as i am, and as much american as he is swedish. (Semantical but true)
(Oops thought i was on the other post mb - this got linked as a "repost thingy")
Yeah, I’d say he’s American but he speaks basic Swedish. We have other athletes here who don’t really speak Swedish.
He's never lived here though
Ariltongadottir
Beeing a great athlete seems to be a fast track to citizenship. All fun and games until they got caught with illegal substances. Go Sweden!
In our case it is often just a case of big immigration. Not looking at you, Ludmilla.
And he was born Swedish because of his mother.
nilseke
Yeah, it’s the trials. But his mum is born in Sweden
Sure, but him not even speaking Swedish is quite weird
DamnTheAdmiralty
when ~90% of Swedes speak English, I don't see how it's weird to have an athlete not speaking the "native" language.
If the athlete has never lived in your country and basically only competes for your country because it's easier for him it's weird.
It's not that weird. For example where I live we had super star professional baseball player, Ichiro. He never learned how to speak English.
Also he lived in your city, duplantis has never lived in Sweden. He's only lived in the us. If he lived in Sweden things would be different
Yeah but he probably didn't compete for your national team.
