Pole vaulter Lexi Weeks qualifying for love of my life.

I never got to try this, but I've always wondered how you do this and never Vlad yourself.

She has a twin!

I think that the Mexicans will get good at this if Trump wins.
madmardagan
She genuinely made me happy for her at the end there. I was seriously on the hype train.
pleonidas
I don't get it. Is there something I'm missing? Aside from the obvious pole vault.
jinky74
She's purty.

Lexi Weeks and her sexy cheeks

I have a Tempurpedic for her to land on when she releases my pole.

You got me, I laughed (but I regret it)
jval
Cool comment, man.
fofalooza
With a grip like hers you'll likely need a hospital bed.
WilwoWaggins
I wouldn't know what that grip is like. I only know her hand grip must be powerful.
emancipist
so do you guys pronounce it "ar-kan-saw" or "ar-kan-sus" this confuses me
Lugalzagesi
It's ar-kan-saw. It's based off of a native american word which is why we pronounce it that way.
emancipist
Thanks! I'm aussy and thought it was Arkansas!

Buckbeak1486
Honestly, how does anyone get the balls to attempt this for the first time?
wienerpolice
You actually just start by swinging into the pit with a low bar, the pole doesn't usually bend when you start out. Then you progress slowly.
NotThatJoeYouKnow
you mean like why they started doing it... it was an easy way to get across a ditch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YP32iWoqjnQ

FYI University of Arkansas sent 17 student athletes to the Olympics.

Sort of unrelated but the past 3 years our football offensive line was bigger than most NFL lines. The athletes here are pretty good

Arkansas has many hidden treasures. Just don't move to northwest Arkansas, it's too awesome.

It's the only part of Arkansas I've ever been to.

Agreed. Let's keep that on the down low.

Woo! Ft smith here.

Fort Smith doesn't count. Fayetteville, Rogers and Bentonville are nice. Ft Smith sucks. Aside from Rogers Ave, it's a hellhole.

At least she kept going.
WailingPotato45
Very hesitantly, but yes you've got a point.
RickyBobbyShakenBake
True. but she does NOT want to be there.
SarahWaitForItBelle
I'm sure it was a coach yelling at her.
RickyBobbyShakenBake
Yes, SO sure.
SarahWaitForItBelle
What does that even mean? When I ran track and XC my parents never said shit but my coach? Oh. My coach looked like a veiny tomato yelling.
RickyBobbyShakenBake
I did too. My coach wasn't like that. It was just high school sports, we were there to have fun. BUT if I wanted to skip my mom would say no
RickyBobbyShakenBake
It means that everyone's experience is different, you can't be so sure.

Apparently pole vaulting has been an olympic sport for men since 1896 and for women since 2000. This is a strange sport.
DetrimentalWolf
Feminists says the pole represents a dick and that makes them mad.
pomax
you mispelled "we had fucked up standards".
ajpimpsalll
1 REASON: Widely believed old wive's tale that the inversion and stress would make a woman's uterus infertile.
imortis
It was in the ancient games as well, soldiers used poles to vault walls on fortifications when attacking a city or getting past moats.
DaDisser
Technically an event. Track and Field is the sport lol
suntzupup
well that was depressing to read.
LostCause97
The Olympics used to be all about ancient martial skills. Throwing weapons (discus, javelin, shotput), long jump to get over trenches 1/?
LostCause97
Pole vault to get over enemy fortifications, and running is the most essential tool in a soldier's box.
Bananakin
interesting!
SteelFuelCantMeltBeamJets
At least they tried to keep women off the pole
ecoll1unicorn
Pole vaulting is fun. It's what I did last year. But I have many injuries..
jobustevens
It wasn't until 2000 that they were comfortable with woman playing with rods that long.
Cereaza
But at least it feels like an olympic event though. Wrestling and Weight Lifting and Track and Field. Very Olympic.
srslykittens
Pole vaulting was done with stiff metal poles for a long long time. No one should have been doing it.
sunbucks
It should be the other way around.
swatz
Had to get over the castle walls? Or 'my parents aren't home' princess addition.
TheGingerBeardedBiologist
It's also the sport where records repeatedly get broken due to improvements in materials.
ZaphodBeeblebrox451
Any sport that uses equipment is like this. Golf is probably the best example.
bestestfester
As is with many sports.
reedeyo
Not really. The men's indoor record was just beaten after 20 years and the outdoor record has been the same since 1994.
IM4M
between 1896 and 1994 a lot improved, we reached the peak i guess
farmerthejohn
The big leap in technology was late 60's - early 70's when we switched from stiff poles to fiberglass.
TraitorousTrump3
Women still can't swim the 1500m races because they're "too fragile".

saucefordipping29
What. Some one needs to be a hero and make a post about all this.
LearnedCoward
What was it?
TheLoneRook
People died, that's where that came from. It was attempted, and people drowned.
Arrrrgggggghhhh
And yet dont women out perform men in ultra long distance swimming?
platypusplatoon
But there's a women's 10km swim
BlowOnItAndStickItIn
Anything above 1500m is fine because they become stronger and can handle more stress at 1501m. It's basic anatomy, really.
BadReactionToSimochi
"Women shouldn't pole vault! Women have no business near a pole! Eh? Yes, I am a virgin, why do you ask?" -Some guy who died in 2000, maybe

Im sure female pole vaulting has been around since the creation of man...

I firmly believe it exists so we don't forget how to correctly carry out a pike charge. Just in case.
thecheesedip
I like that. I should take up pole vaulting.
lukasthecrazey
It's fun
throughthoughtthough
Or cross a river obstacle when you have a stick
raccoonteur219
But is it the correct way to carry out a pike charge? I have no idea what that's supposed to look like.
jsnen
You'd never charge with a pike in the first place.
AlwaysTrustTheManInABigWhiteVan
Mostly you try to stop hostile cavalry in a row formation, correct?
MuhammedGarza
That's true! But I can't find out why. Anyone know?
HamsterOnAGoat
I know a dude whose pole snapped halfway up, whipped back into his crotch and ruptured a testicle. He needed stitches.
abcDelicious
Dude that happened to me in high school but thankfully I didn't rupture anything. Just vomited a bunch

I wanted to do pole vaulting. Now I don't.

Whip it, whip it good. Ok, I'll see myself out.

A local HS athlete got a javelin in the eye. He survived, didn't loose his eye and was on the news.

Was that the Hood River one? I've been thinking about that all day with all these javelin posts.

Yup, that's the one. Lucky guy all things considered.
