pole vaulting is way better, it requires much more physical and emotional strength, awareness, and abilities than high jump could ever hope to imagine... it also gets you more girls (after all "we carry the big sticks")and scholarships than high jump...
MARTIN BRODEUR!!!!!!!!! how else? i mean, come on, besides him being brilliant and canadian, he won the vezina trophy three times already (and he might win it yet again coming season!! i'm sure of it!!), so there's plenty of proof! Sorry, I completel...
The pole vaulter must use enough force pushing down on the pole so that the pole will bend, and when it snaps back to position, will raise the pole vaulter.
