London 2012 women's pole vault - Google Olympics Doodle

On August 04, 2012, Saturday Google is featuring "Pole Vault" by showing the Doodle "London 2012 women's pole vault". This is the Ninth Google Doodle for the London 2012 Summer Olympics.

Pole vaulting is a track and field event in which a person uses a long, flexible pole (which today is usually made either of fiberglass or carbon fiber) as an aid to leap over a bar.

It has been a full medal event at the Olympic Games since 1896 for men and 2000 for women.To achieve the maximum possible height, every aspect of the jump must be perfect, including the run-up.

The pole can be any length or diameter, but must be smooth. Athletes plant the end of the pole into a box at the base of the landing area, and use their speed, momentum and the bend of the pole to get themselves over.
