Are Your Spikes Legal?

Are your spikes legal for international purposes?

This is important if you are hoping to compete at USATF Championships/Olympic Trials.

World Athletics quietly updates their list of legal shoes throughout the year and some of these may catch pole vaulters by surprise, for example…

adidas: The TJ 2 is legal for pole vault but the TJ/PV spike is not.

Asics: The LJ Pro and LJ Pro 3 are legal for pole vault but the LJ Pro 2 is not.

Nike: The LJ Elite, PV Elite and TJ Elite are legal for pole vault but the TJ Elite 2 is not.
