• Pole vault

  192 terms · Compiled by Rainer Ost, edition of 28 December 2007

  I got the idea for this glossary some years ago when comparing different conference contributions of V.Petrov, the coach of the world record holders S. Bubka and Y. Isinbayeva, in English, French and German. As he seemed to tell different things in different countries I concluded on translation problems. Pole vault language is influenced by the technical model in use. Whereas very different types of pole vaulters emerged in the United States (J. Dial, S. Huffman, L.Johnson), Germany in the nineties was greatly influenced by Russian pole vaulting and the French keep sticking to their model, that has produced champions in the past and stills wins medals. We try to update this glossary regularly and should be very grateful for any feedback. The main purpose of the glossary is to furnish key expressions for web search. It should also be useful for following the different discussions on American message boards (forums).
