Traditional fierljeppen in the Netherlands, using poles to clear "horizontal distances" over rivers
The object of pole vaulting is to clear a bar or crossbar supported upon two uprights (standards) without knocking it down. Physical attributes such as speed, agility and strength are essential to pole vaulting effectively, but technical skill is an equally if not more important element. Running speed, however, may be the most dominant factor. A number of elite pole vaulters have had backgrounds in gymnastics, including world record breakers Yelena Isinbayeva and Brian Sternberg, reflecting the similar physical attributes required for the sports. It is unusual among track and field sports in that it requires a significant amount of specialised equipment in order to participate, even at a basic level. It is typically classified as one of the four major jumping events in athletics, alongside the high jump, long jump and triple jump.
