After whining about the unfair qualifying procedures by USATF and not taking any responsibility for the way they ostracize themselves, over half the pole vault field no heights Men's and Women's combined. Maybe it's you, not the rest of the sport.

I agree OP, you know what when I sat down and thought about it I reckoned after whining about the unfair qualifying procedures by USATF and not taking any responsibility for the way they ostracize themselves, over half the pole vault field no heights Men's and Women's combined. Maybe it's you, not the rest of the sport.

Interesting defense to answer why there is double the no height incidence in the vault versus the high jump. Seems informed enough to leave the apologists speechless.

Confused much?

I'm sure you can fire up your imagination with a few youtube videos of high jump and pole vault.

When you report back here, see if you can explain the one blatantly obvious difference.

noob.

I got it! Pole Vaulters are entitled brats and high jumpers understand you have to earn things, they aren't just given to you because you think you're special. Thanks for the help!

The starting heights in the vertical jumps are designated to eliminate about half the field at the first bar to keep the length of the competition manageable and to not force the elites to sit for three hours waiting to get to their opening bars.
