Is this exactly as it appears in the original film or is this some special cut from DVD special edition or something? The reason I ask is that I saw the original years ago and I seem to remember there was voice over and a soundtrack by Henry Mancini. Not to take away from this version which, with it's minimal sound, is stunning.
he was not correct to avoid seagren to use his pole, he would surely won, and it is a pity that he left track and field after Muenchen, He could become the greatest pole vaulter of the history
Bob Seagren would have won easily with his own poles, he was given a pole that was too light ( not strong enough) for his speed and strength. The same for Jan Johnson. Three years later in an exhibition, he vaulted 5.74 meters, almost 15 cm above the listed World Record. I have no doubt, had he not turned professional to do Superstars, he would have been the first man to pole vault 5.80m ( 19'_
This is the original. The Mancini soundtrack was for the Michael Pfleghar segment, "The Women."

have you got other documentaries with bob seagren?

I don't. Other Olympic documentaries (such as Olympia and Tokyo Olympiad) include pole vault footage, but none quite like this.

Amazing! Do you have any more old time videos of pole vaulting.
