In August 7th, there was IAAF world championship in London. In the long pole final round game, the new face Stefadini caughat a gold medal. She challanged world new record, sorry to say, she failed. Do you know the sport which use very long pole? Yes, it`s pole vault. Last year, the International Track and Field Meet opened in Beijing. This sport used to jump over things. But it has been real sport in 19th century. Pole vault uses pole. The weight of the pole is about 2.5 kilograms. The winner of the game is jump highest among players. Proper approch length is about 30 to 40m. When you watch pole vault game, you can see little hole. This is used to fasten the pole. When the pole stuck in little hole (or box), players fly high up because of the elastic force. Players want to jump over the pole shaft. This shaft gets higher and higher when the player compelete constant altitude. Pole vault was played in first Olympic in Athen. Is it one of the oldest sports, right?
