pole vaulting
Pole vaulting is a track and field event where an athlete uses a long, flexible pole to jump over a high bar. The vaulter runs down a runway, plants the pole in a box at the end, and uses it to propel themselves upward and over the bar. The height of the bar can be adjusted, and the goal is to clear it without knocking it down.
The sport requires a combination of speed, strength, and technique. Athletes must master the timing of their run, the planting of the pole, and the technique of flipping their body over the bar. Olympic competitions often showcase the best pole vaulters in the world.
