Pole Vaulting
Pole Vaulting(Physical) by Taalismn
This is skill in the athletic practice of using flexible poles to lift oneself up and over high obstacles. Normally practiced as part of track and field competition, it can also find use in getting over walls or to the rooftops of structures quickly, and crossing gaps and chasms(provided one has a long enough pole). Practitioners are trained in upper-body strength, flexibility of body form, proper body positioning(especially at the top of a vault), and proper placement of the pole for best results. Pole vaulters also are trained to identify proper and appropriate equipment with regards to properly sturdy and flexible poles.
(Note: The current record in Men’s Pole Vault is 6.16m....that’s over 18 ft. Women, at 5.06 m)
