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.

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 is the Google's new fascinating doodle to show its support to the sporting extravaganza. It is the ninth doodle since the opening of the London Olympics 2012.

Moreover, in the London 2012 pole vault doodle, the logo of Google is seen behind the stadium in which the ceiling of the stadium is painted in varied colours of green, yellow, red and yellow.
Pole vault jumping competition is held as a part of the Olympics Games since 1896 for men, but it was only in the year 2000 women were allowed to participate in the competition.
This sport came a long way since its inception. Earlier pole vault competitions were held using solid ash poles but with the advancement of technology, it has been replaced with fiberglass bar with rubber ends.
In this sport, athletes are given the freedom to choose different heights to jump over and if/she succeeds a height, the height of the bar is raised, thus making it more competitive for the next set of jumps.
The landing area of this sport is important and to minimize the risk of injury for pole vault, it is designed into high-tech mats with foam.

Closing Ceremony - Spice Girls - London 2012 Olympic Games Highlights.
The Spice Girls reuniting to perform at the closing ceremony for the London 2012 Olympic Games was not really a secret. They regaled the audiences by singing two hits from their whirlwind two-album career in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Chisholm and Melanie Brown -- aka Posh Spice, Baby Spice, Ginger Spice, Sporty Spice and Scary Spice -- sang 'Wannabe' and 'Spice Up Your Life' riding around the Olympic Stadium atop black London taxi cabs, reports CBS News.
The famous group performed together Sunday night after four years, though earlier this year the quintet had talked about their musical 'Viva Forever' -- based on their songs -- that is to be launched this fall in London.
Victoria also appeared at the closing ceremony when one of her designs were part of the British fashion show.
She tweeted a photo of the 'Girl Power' group posing together with a teaser: 'Tell us: What did you think of the Spice Girls' performance?'
