The bar starts at a relatively low height and is raised as vaulters clear that height. The world record for men in pole vault is 6.14 meters (20 feet, 1 3/4 inches) and the world record for women is 5.03 meters (16 feet, 6 inches).

What is the difference between the high jump and pole vault?

The high jump and pole vault are both track and field events focused on jumping over a horizontal bar, but they differ significantly in technique and equipment. In the high jump, athletes leap over the bar without any assistance, using their own strength and technique to clear the height. In contrast, pole vault competitors use a flexible pole to propel themselves over the bar, allowing them to achieve greater heights. Additionally, the approaches and landing areas for the two events differ, with pole vault requiring a landing pit and high jump typically utilizing a cushioned mat.
