Athletics Men's Pole Vault - Lazaro Borges (Cuba) snaps pole - Highlights from the Olympic Park at the London 2012 Olympic Games. -- 8 August 2012
Since 1896, athletics has been on the programme of each edition of the Games of the Olympiad. Its presence on the Games programme has allowed its popularity to increase across the world. This popularity was also strengthened by the creation of the IAAF in 1912. Women's events appeared for the first time at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, while the men's programme was standardised as of the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. Although at the beginning women were authorised to participate in only some events, today their programme is almost identical to that of the men.

London 2012 Pole Vault (Vaulting) Google Doodle for Olympics
A female pole vaulter propels herself high in the sky in Google's ninth doodle during the ongoing London Olympic Games. The Google logo looms behind the stadium, the ceiling of which is painted in Google colours - blue, red, yellow and green.
Pole vault is one of the field events in the athletics programme in London 2012. In the sport of pole vault, athletes take a up with a pole in their hands and use it to propel themselves over a bar. There is no restriction on the length or diameter of the pole, the requirement is that the pole must be smooth.
Athletes propel themselves by planting the end of their pole into a box at the base of the landing area, and using their speed, momentum and the bend of the pole to get themselves over the bar.
There are different heights that athletes can choose to jump over at their own discretion. Failing in three consecutive jumps leads to elimination. Once the a height is completed or passed, the bar is raised for the next set of jumps.
The legendary Ukrainian pole vaulter Sergey Bubka holds the men's world record of a height of 6.14 metres set on July 31, 1994 in Sestriere, Italy. The Olympic record was set by Steven Hooker with 5.96 metres on August 22, 2008 at Beijing.
The London 2012 pole vault men's qualification rounds are scheduled for August 8 and the final is on August 10.

It has been a full medal event at the Olympic Games since 1896 for men and 2000 for women.To achieve the maximum possible height, every aspect of the jump must be perfect, including the run-up.
The pole can be any length or diameter, but must be smooth. Athletes plant the end of the pole into a box at the base of the landing area, and use their speed, momentum and the bend of the pole to get themselves over.
