There are many poles rated for a 200 lbs vaulter. First a vaulter of that size must work on their technique to ensure that he can use such a large pole. Then depending on the vaulters height and jump a vaulter can buy a 14' - 17' 7" that is rated for a 200 lbs vaulter. But a 14' 200 is not the same pole as a 16' 200. Please look up a pole size chart before picking the right size pole.

Steve Hooker, the Olympic pole vaulter, is 6'2" and is the third-highest pole vaulter in history.
I am a pole vaulter and i use a 12 foot pole but it can range from 9 to in the Olympic some times 18
The vaulter may use a pole (under his/her wieght) to go over a cross bar. If the cross bar falls off before the vaulter is off the mat, it is counted as missed. A scratch is when a vaulter's pole hits the back of the box and the vaulter doesn't leave the ground. Besides that it's a unique event considering there are vaulter have many different techniques.
It depends on your weight pole vaulting poles can be measured by weight and height. the highest weight pole ive seen is a 180 but it also depends on your upper body strength the tougher you are the bigger the pole you can use
The first British pole vaulter to win an Olympic medal was Dorothy Tyler in the 1936 Olympics. She won a silver medal in the women's pole vault event.
A pole vaulter has kinetic energy as they run with speed, potential energy as they use the pole to propel themselves upwards, and gravitational potential energy as they reach the peak of their jump.
Did you hear about the javelin thrower who decided to become a pole vaulter when the tip of his javelin got stuck in the dirt.
When a pole vaulter's pole has reached its maximum bend point, the potential energy stored in the pole is at its maximum, as the pole is under high tension. At the same time, the kinetic energy of the pole vaulter is also increasing as they approach the release point. The potential energy stored in the pole is eventually converted into kinetic energy of the vaulter as they propel themselves over the bar.
