Pole Vault, Women

Date	16 – 19 August 2016
Status	Olympic
Location	Estádio Olímpico João Havelange, Engenho de Dentro, Rio de Janeiro
Participants	36 from 23 countries

This event was weakened by the absence of Russian superstar vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva, who was banned along with virtually the entire Russian athletics team because of a systematic state-run doping system. Isinbayeva was Olympic champion in 2004 and 2008, a three-time World Champion, and had set 17 world records and 13 indoor world records.

In her absence the best known vaulter was American Jenn Suhr, the defending gold medallist and the 2016 World Indoor Champion, but after qualifying, Suhr became quite ill in Rio and wasn’t sure if she could even compete in the final. After the 4.80 height, the leader was New Zealander Eliza McCartney, who was clear, as five vaulters remained. Suhr had gone out at 4.70. At 4.85, only Greece’s Ekaterini Stefanidi and American Sandi Morris were successful, both on their second attempt, giving McCartney the bronze medal. Neither Stefanidi nor Morris could clear 4.90, and the Greek won the gold medal because of fewer misses, Morris having one early miss at 4.70.
