In the field, it only took three attempts for Helsinki world championships silver medalist Brad Walker to win the men's pole vault competition.

Walker watched as his remaining rivals all missed at 5.78 meters/18 feet, 11.75 inches before winning the event by clearing 5.86m/19-2.75 on his first attempt. Other Americans in the competition included Derek Miles (5th), Olympic gold medalist Tim Mack (6th) and Olympic silver medalist Toby Stevenson (7th), all clearing 5.60m/18-4.50.

I can't get it to work, so I don't know how much pole vaulting it has.

Does anyone know who BOB WALKER is and where he's from. He looks a lot like Brad Walker.

I saw that too when I was looking at the pic. Thinking "That's so sad that they don't even know the name of the #1 vaulter in the world."
