Renaud Lavillenie Wins Pole Vault Gold - London 2012 Olympics

📲 Subscribe to @olympics: oly.ch/Subscribe
Highlights from the Olympic Stadium in London as France's Renaud Lavillenie wins Pole Vault Gold and breaks the Olympic record in the process on 10 August 2012.
Since 1896, athletics has been on the programme of each edition of the Games of the Olympiad. Its presence on the Games programme has allowed its popularity to increase across the world. This popularity was also strengthened by the creation of the IAAF in 1912. Women's events appeared for the first time at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, while the men's programme was standardised as of the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. Although at the beginning women were authorised to participate in only some events, today their programme is almost identical to that of the men.

I love the face of his rivals after he cleared 5m97, it just tells the whole story of that evening!

[@Toghebon]

I'll always remember that 5.97 jump, I yelled "WOOOOH!!!" for something like twenty seconds I was so stunned. One of the most beautiful pole vault finals in the olympics for sure!

[@BowieChrisReaDimashlover]

Il me semble entendre le commentateur dire "Richard" Lavillenie et non Renaud. Bravo à Renaud Lavillenie. C'est un grand champion. Merci.

[@fabianohza7749]

mas aqui no Rio de Janeiro em 2016 ele foi hostilizado 🤣🤣🤣

[@sereysothe.a]

watching this is pure amazement. this is the height of athletics

namn LITERALLY

[@i8szu]

he still is and will be my favorite pole vaulter

[@cuninou]

Renaud Lavillenie already made history when he became Olympic champion but he definitely became a legend today by beating Bubka's indoor record... Who would have guessed he'd break it, and that fast besides?

[@johnmills2485]

[@animeobssesion164]

I have a tiny heart attack every time they let go of the pole because I'm afraid it might hit their crowned jewels

[@eomer7284]

It’s funny you say that because it had happened before😂. Look up Zach McGregor getting stitches in his “crowned jewel”

[@redwithblackstripes]

Better get Renaud's name right since he is now the best polt vault athlete in history :)

[@user-dv8ck6op4q]

[@geuros]

Sergey Bubka... well yeah, he's probably still greater, but Renaud already holds the absolute highest performance. But it's probably the outdoor world record that counts the most

[@centaurusju141]

Bravo Richard 🤔

[@crozdog100]

Yes Gibson but you can start at any height you want

[@carterclasper561]

i don't see why brad walker would come in at 5.65 when his personal best is so much higher

[@homan2822]

cause he hasn't jumped to close to his personal best in quite a while. hard to come totally back from getting a spine fusion

[@carterclasper561]

Nick Homan that makes much more sense, haha thanks!

[@logansmith7241]

Look at 1:36 in the back you can see the leaders of the 4x400m final on the last leg! That is the usa and the Bahamas. haha!

[@jfp521]

it's not bull in the least, i hope you kno that by passing up to another height without clearing the previous one you get less attempts at the height than someone who did clear the previous height, by doing so you are putting yourself at a major disadvantage because you're putting more pressure on yourself to clear a higher height, the higher the bar goes the harder it is to clear and the less likely chance of a "lucky jump" happening, lucky jumps don't happen very often at all at these heights

[@AldrineDomalanta]

He said Lasuanne Lavillenie (Le-shawn) ... I think it's a french version of Renaud....

[@jackcorrigan3454]

Yes but the thickness varies with weight

[@GETREALNoobZ]

Because that was was at the World Championships, not the olympics

[@yayday]

Uhhh, you have to clear a certain height before they raise the bar higher...

[@joebro391]

priceless

[@Moummouthh]

Did he say Richard Lavillenie ??? :O

[@francoisb7959]

twice!

[@daniloaraujo5]

Vim do futuro pra falar que o recorde olímpico não é mais dele e é do Brasil....#ThiagoBraz

[@911gpd]

Fckuk you Brazil. Go back to football (7-1)

[@zisssssou]

I like very much Braz, a future star of pole vault. A huge achievement to surpass Lavillenie I was also very disappointed of the brasilian ugly attitude with Lavillenie during the competition and medal ceremony, it put a shadow on Braz title. Sad :/

[@zisssssou]

DakonBlackblade2 34 lines of paranoid lies, victimisation and bullshits. Another proof that truth always hurts and make you say very stupid things. Well done.

[@DakonBlackblade2]

zisssssou Or 34 lines of truth and you are embarking on the same boat of complaining and making excuses of Lavilenie. Well done. And victimization is what you and the very sore looser of this event are doing.

[@charlottemeyer491]

Soccer Mania GamePlay what are you saying

[@JCyote]

I probably would've done the same thing if I was Brad Walker.

[@Linconnuedu13]

Yes but his name is Renaud, not Richard :p

how does he have the olympic record if sergey bubka jumped 20.2 feet and has the world record?

[@CR-bg7sd]

My last name is Renaud

[@ChooChewChu]

Otto is a hottie!

[@manhl7620]

Lavillenie only got silver in Rio with 5.98, De Silva got gold with OR at 6.03.

[@ImpeK86]

WR is for Lavillenie, with 6.19

[@kate76200]

La chance uniquement, Renaud fait 6,19

[@ImpeK86]

+kate ahahah et Silva pour le 6.03 c'etait pas de la chance peut etre ?

[@LyonizosdEuclide]

son record à six metre en outside est de 6.05 et lentraineur de braz est celui de bubka et disinbayeva, un dopé ?

[@DakonBlackblade2]

It's 6.16 actualy, and its indoor, and it is not during competition (as in not while someone is actively disputing medals and whatnot against him). There's a reason the OR is 6.03 and not nearly as high as the WR, when you are compeating and you have to jump a certain mark or you loose its much harder than it is to jump 6.16 when you are doing so just to set marks.

[@lesptitsbouts3230]

[@wilkparrish7985]

No

[@nsaaslan1689]

1 37

[@famefed01]

just cannot understand why someone can raise the bar when he cannot pass over the one before this is bull what needs to be done is one at a time this is the only way to resolve a champion, this includes high jump. a champion is someone who can do and excel at the step taken one at a time from 1feet to 2feet and not 1feet to 3feet cos anytime there is this law in any scenerio is lucky jump can always happen to anyone to risk a higher level is not the factor it is to excel every inch of the way

[@nenehalim14896]

he's cute :')
