world Men Pole Vault History

Venue: Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum 100,000.
8 competitors from 4 nations.
World Record: 4.37m Willian Graber, United States Palo Alto (USA) July 16, 1932
Olympic Record: 4.20 Sabin Carr, United States Amsterdam (NED) August 1, 1928
Bill Graber had set a world record of 4.37 in winning the US Trials in a competition which saw 16 men clear 4.06. He was the favourite ahead of teammates Miller, who placed second in Stanford with 4.30, and Jefferson (4.22 in the trials). At 4.15, the Americans had company from Nishida, who equalled his Asian record, and then went over 4.20 on his second attempt, after Miller and Jefferson had cleared first time. Graber had passed 4.20, but caused a shock by failing at 4.25, which only Miller and Nishida cleared. Nishida then cleared 4.30 on his third attempt, as he had done at the previous height, improving his best for the third time. Miller who had been flawless from 4.20 onwards then cleared 4.315 on his last attempt after Nishida had just grazed the bar with his chest. Nishida’s sincere congratulations of Miller won the plaudits of the Californian crowd.
