The height for women's pole vaulting events is typically set at 3.5 meters (about 11 feet 6 inches), though it can vary based on the competition level. This height challenges female athletes to exhibit technique, strength, and coordination as they clear the bar using a flexible pole. Elite pole vaulters continuously work on their approach, plant, and takeoff to maximize their height. The event is a staple in track and field competitions, showcasing incredible athletic ability.
