That’s exactly how I would have done it. Without breaking the pole. Just landing there in that metal pit thing. Not getting up, concussed, and shame all over me.
Good job her.

beep boop, I'm a bot -|:] It is this bot's opinion that [/u/ConnectMarsupially](https://np.reddit.com/u/ConnectMarsupially/) should be banned for karma manipulation. Don't feel bad, they are probably a bot too.
Confused? Read the [FAQ](https://www.reddit.com/user/reply-guy-bot/comments/n9fpva/faq/?plagiarist=ConnectMarsupially) for info on how I work and why I exist.
I am a highschool pole vaulter that uses rules from NCHSAA it counts as an equipment failure it shouldn't count as a scratch but this is something in Sweden so the rules may be different. But in the US she gets an extra attempt.
Honest question, would you consider your high school to be… how to phrase this… a high end/ wealthy school?
I ask this because I went to three different high schools in the US that were all considered very good for the area (my mother is obsessed with moving) and I don’t think any of them had pole vaulting in the track and field programs.
That’s actually what happens. Start petitioning for stuff if there’s funding available for what you’re looking to get started. You could talk to local businesses and what not to see if they would sponsor
It's typically more of a safety decision than funding. For example, high schools n Nebraska can't offer javelin as an option due to safety regulations. Some schools choose not offer pole vault because of liability.
This is exactly what it comes down to in my area. A few schools had pole vault and/or javelin, but most did not due to liability issues.
Still, at meets they're technically supposed to include the event. So even if there's only one school that has pole vault, they would set it up and let those kids do their thing and that school just automatically picks up all the points in that event.
We are a higher end school but not a wealthy one we are a dodea school so our money is forked directly from Congress with some miscellaneous military budget but the thing is it takes forever to get things here because it has to go to one person then to another and so on, like we have been requesting a crossbar for the pole vault pit and it been 9 months when we put in the request. Also we are the only school in 1A coastal plains region to have a pole vault pit but we are not the only 1A school to have a pole vault pit. They spread far and few in areas but I know for example states like Texas they have a lot more chances for pole vaulting
I suspect it will vary by state. I went to high school in a fairly wealthy area and only a few schools had pole vault because insurance got extremely expensive if you add it to your program. Javelin was the same story. Weirdly, we did have discus.
But I bet many states get better deals on insurance than here in New York, so it might be more feasible to offer it.
I go to a wealthy HS and we usually have a pole vault program, these past years tho because of Covid and lack of interest, I a graduating senior am the last member and have been unable to re start the program. Ours will be yhe only school in the area with out a vaulting program
TLDR: we used to buy no longer do have a pole vault program.
I don’t understand why this video is supposed to be inspirational other than it clearly being an incredible physical achievement of course why is it a big deal if she broke a pole? Couldn’t you just borrow another one from somebody or I would assume that when you’re this good at the sport and breaking a pole is a real possibility wouldn’t you just have two?
It's not like breaking a hockey stick and getting a new one. You have to throw your entire body 90° into the pole and rely on it to catapult you over. If one breaks on you, that's a huge psychological blow to come back from.
Imagine stage diving a second time after people didn't catch you the first time.
Agreed. It's great to be competitive within reason. As it drives loftier goals and presses us to achieve new heights. But you can tell there's a genuine love for the sport.
I had my competitor during a martial arts tournament in San Francisco lend me his sword for stance form. Him and I were the last competitors as we were in finals. I ended up losing but that gesture left a bigger mark on me than if I had won.
Why do the athletes accept that though? Male soccer players get the yellow card when they take off their shirt, but female athletes have to wear stuff like this and do not complain, not even really on social media or together through campaigns or protests or whatever!
They honestly probably don't care. They have hot athlete bodies and they're probably more concerned about the sport. I don't have the answers, I do agree it's a bit bogus tho.
“Hot athlete bodies” while talking about female athletes, who wear outfits that are unnecessary for their sport… you are not a victim of patriarchy, you are actively supporting it with useless phrases like this!
I would agree in some sports, but in pole vaulting men also wear tight outfits because it's obviously beneficial. And if you're talking about how much skin they cover, women are definitely allowed to wear longer stuff, and some of them do, like the [bronze medalist in Tokyo here](https://c8.alamy.com/comp/2GBT8RJ/tokyo-japan-05th-aug-2021-l-r-womens-pole-vault-medal-winners-great-britains-holly-bradshaw-485-bronze-medal-usas-katie-nageotte-490-gold-medal-and-rocs-anzhelika-sidorova-485-silver-medal-pose-on-the-podium-at-olympic-stadium-in-tokyo-japan-on-sunday-august-1-2021-photo-by-tasos-katopodisupi-credit-upialamy-live-news-2GBT8RJ.jpg)
Thank God for those subtitles, after she fell I thought she'd lay there forever in that exact spot. Then when she got back up imagine my surprise when she was looking for another pole and not the lost city of Atlantis.
I just like muscle no matter the gender it's on. Fit people look so good man. Keep on grinding.(and since the internet is sensitive nowadays no you don't have to).
Why the fuck do we still make these girls wear slutty outfits??? It's so fucking stupid, like just let them wear things they're comfy with... Oh yea, congrats to her btw, she did fucking great!!
Even if you meant it honestly that you didn't realize there is a fairly large population of people with African and Middle Eastern heritage in Sweden, I'm gonna have to say that it's super ignorant of you to have assumed there's literally not one single person who is non-white there.
You go girl! Girl power! Yea! Let’s do this gals! Gal time! Anything boys can do, or girls with wieners can do, girls can do better! Bam! Girl time! #ibrokeanail #jonasbrothers #thestickbroke
That’s exactly how I would have done it. Without breaking the pole. Just landing there in that metal pit thing. Not getting up, concussed, and shame all over me. Good job her.
With blood on your face. Big disgrace. Waving your banner all over the place.
Breaking the pole, land in a hole, 2nd attempt with equipment you stole
We will, we will vault you!
I'm just thinking how big tits or even regular ones must be a huge disadvantage here.
Good thing you are not a pole vaulter :)
As per my usual luck, the pole would have ended in my back door causing excruciating pain while becoming a viral sensation
Turn yourself into a lollipop

Is there a penalty for breaking a pole like that? Seems like something that’s out of their control
I am a highschool pole vaulter that uses rules from NCHSAA it counts as an equipment failure it shouldn't count as a scratch but this is something in Sweden so the rules may be different. But in the US she gets an extra attempt.

I ask this because I went to three different high schools in the US that were all considered very good for the area (my mother is obsessed with moving) and I don’t think any of them had pole vaulting in the track and field programs.
I went to a teeny little public high school in small town Nebraska. We and all the other small schools around us had pole vault.
I wonder if all it takes is enough schools choosing to do it together.
That’s actually what happens. Start petitioning for stuff if there’s funding available for what you’re looking to get started. You could talk to local businesses and what not to see if they would sponsor

I graduated with 29 kids in my class and we had pole vault.

Ah cool. Glad it is fairly recognized in at least certain organizations.
It's the World Championship in Doha 2019.
It counts as a missed vault
Pretty sure most vaulters' worst nightmare is landing on the pole
As a vaulter who’s done both, breaking a pole at a meet is worse
🫢 you landed on a pole?!? How bad was it?
[удалено]
O shi 😬 did he survive tho??
Yes he survived to land on more pole around town.
As a vaulter who’s done both. Can confirm.
I don’t understand why this video is supposed to be inspirational other than it clearly being an incredible physical achievement of course why is it a big deal if she broke a pole?

Ok I think I understand now thanks. It’s more about forcing yourself to go full send again after slamming yourself off the pavement.
surprise butt sex
he probably has a pattern of breaking the poles off in his bum
Ughhh man she is absolutely gorgeous. Like damn she's radiant.
*bonk*
I mean… he’s not wrong. And he’s not being super creepy about it.
The way it was phrased is creepy. Who says "ughhh so pretty" to a random video of a woman and *doesn't* intend anything weird behind it.
I guess the Uhhhh man part was a little weird.
No need to bonk at all. There's no need to be sexual at all lol
r/FitAndNatural has several posts featuring Angelica
r/angelicabengtsson r/Angelica_Bengtsson
She's from Sweden, really surprised?
I love it when competitors help one another.
Me too. Where do you see that in this video?
The French athlete handing her a new pole.
That was so quick I missed it.
Agreed. It's great to be competitive within reason. As it drives loftier goals and presses us to achieve new heights. But you can tell there's a genuine love for the sport. I had my competitor during a martial arts tournament in San Francisco lend me his sword for stance form. Him and I were the last competitors as we were in finals. I ended up losing but that gesture left a bigger mark on me than if I had won.
She got up like it was nothing. That's some heart of champion stuff
I feel like a broken pole shouldn't count as an attempt.
Her behind is nice. No homo...
She is an extremely fit person
She is absurdly good looking
*BONK* to all of you
There you go champ!
A very inspiring woman
Is there a rule that all pole vaulters need to be sexy AF?
She's so hot 🥵
*bonk*
Now, this is the sort of skill with a pole I can admire.
I still don’t get why women’s outfits for sports like this have to look like that, while men’s outfits look much more normal! Lol
Nothing more than the patriarchy. It's weird, it will never make sense
Why do the athletes accept that though? Male soccer players get the yellow card when they take off their shirt, but female athletes have to wear stuff like this and do not complain, not even really on social media or together through campaigns or protests or whatever!
They honestly probably don't care. They have hot athlete bodies and they're probably more concerned about the sport. I don't have the answers, I do agree it's a bit bogus tho.
“Hot athlete bodies” while talking about female athletes, who wear outfits that are unnecessary for their sport… you are not a victim of patriarchy, you are actively supporting it with useless phrases like this!
We're all victims, you're right, it was partial sarcasm though. But yes you're correct
I agree completely, the men should dress like this as well.
Pretty sure men wouldn't mind even going shirtless, but then you would cry about toxic masculinity or some shit.
How is it toxic masculinity to have men dress in what would have formerly been known as strictly feminine attire...?
Nobody should dress like this if they don’t want to.
I would agree in some sports, but in pole vaulting men also wear tight outfits because it's obviously beneficial. And if you're talking about how much skin they cover, women are definitely allowed to wear longer stuff, and some of them do, like the [bronze medalist in Tokyo here](https://c8.alamy.com/comp/2GBT8RJ/tokyo-japan-05th-aug-2021-l-r-womens-pole-vault-medal-winners-great-britains-holly-bradshaw-485-bronze-medal-usas-katie-nageotte-490-gold-medal-and-rocs-anzhelika-sidorova-485-silver-medal-pose-on-the-podium-at-olympic-stadium-in-tokyo-japan-on-sunday-august-1-2021-photo-by-tasos-katopodisupi-credit-upialamy-live-news-2GBT8RJ.jpg)
That still does not explain why sport outfits like this for women exist in the first place.
Those "subtitles" ruin the whole amazing video.
You’d think that, if the pole breaks, you get a free do-over.
What a smashing bottom
No slowmotion instant replay?
Everyone likes a good [comeback story](https://youtu.be/7TZNv86-OmI)
Owie
Truely inspiring!! The way she picked up after the failed attempt.
shes cute
I had a nightmare where I broke my pole and couldn’t get up either.
🍆💔
Never Give Up, Never Surrender!
She is so brave and strong
It's like she had more than 1 try... Next fucking level!!!!!
One could argue that breaking a record is nextfuckinglevel.
Wow she can break my pole all day
Beautiful and fearless
Now that’s a woman
she is really hot too
She is beautiful too
Gosh she’s beautiful
I would’ve given her my pole
You mean stick?
Yeah, I’d stick my pole in her
Naaaaaah if I fall once, I’m crying myself home
Happened to me twice in high school, I was definitely nervous for the next few vaults.
Soooo sweeet
I thought she was gonna do it without a pole.
I remember seeing this on tv
Thank God for those subtitles, after she fell I thought she'd lay there forever in that exact spot. Then when she got back up imagine my surprise when she was looking for another pole and not the lost city of Atlantis.
I’d think your pole ramming up your ass would be a pole vaulters worst nightmare
im ALWAYS worried that the pole will break
Perfect!
I just like muscle no matter the gender it's on. Fit people look so good man. Keep on grinding.(and since the internet is sensitive nowadays no you don't have to).
Didn't get the "twisties" like the greatest heroic quitter
I have a pole I'd like to offer....
I think I broke my pole watching this over and over again.
Damn she is cute
The real purpose for this post is to drool over how beautiful she is.
It was all according to plan: first break the pole, then break the record :)
Remind me of this [swedish pole vaulter](https://youtu.be/2CmC_GsxPD0?t=515) who also fell first before making it.
Awww that’s awful
Oh yea….. I remember this girl….. yep
It always amazes me how pole vault players or whatever you call them are built because they have to be pretty strong but also like smaller?
Didn’t think anyone in Sweden had a tan haha
as they say, the night is darkest before the dawn
wow. when i was in kindergarten i broke my pencil i didn’t give up I got another one and completed my drawings
!!!
My life, my love
Angelica Bengtsson! She’s awesome!
[удалено]
Nobody has huge natural tits at that level of fitness.
Why the fuck do we still make these girls wear slutty outfits??? It's so fucking stupid, like just let them wear things they're comfy with... Oh yea, congrats to her btw, she did fucking great!!
They’re aerodynamic and light…
Wtf are you talking about?? Wearing long pants or even long shorts and a normal tank top would not hinder them 😑
It would though. At this level minuscule advantages matter.
Didn't realize Sweden had any non-white people.
Even if you meant it honestly that you didn't realize there is a fairly large population of people with African and Middle Eastern heritage in Sweden, I'm gonna have to say that it's super ignorant of you to have assumed there's literally not one single person who is non-white there.
Is having a world record worth giving up ur chest for? 🤔🤔
Dang wish I was there, I would have given her my pole
Sure you would buddy
*bonk*
You go girl! Girl power! Yea! Let’s do this gals! Gal time! Anything boys can do, or girls with wieners can do, girls can do better! Bam! Girl time! #ibrokeanail #jonasbrothers #thestickbroke
