What holds a pole up on a jump?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is nothing that actually holds it in the ground. But there is a 'box' that the pole is planted into, this is like a hole where the pole slides into and stops.

Box: A trapezoidal indentation in the ground with a metal or fiberglass covering at the end of the runway in which vaulters "plant" their pole. The back wall of the box is nearly vertical and is approximately 8 inches in depth. The bottom of the box gradually slopes upward approximately 3-feet until it is level with the runway. The covering in the box ensures the pole will slide to the back of the box without catching on anything. The covering's lip overlaps onto the runway and ensures a smooth transition from all-weather surface so a pole being planted does not catch on the box.

What is the Olympic pole vault made out of?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In "olden" days, poles might have been made out of aluminum,

which is pretty much the same material as the bar that vaulters

try to vault over.

However, nowadays vaulters use poles made of fiber-glass,

which is much lighter and more flexible.

Pole lengths may vary, but the minimum is usually (unofficially) around 12ft. and the max depends on the height you are attempting to vault over.
