Pole vault is one of those World Athletics disciplines where the camaraderie makes it so fun to watch.

These guys are together so much that you can't help but be excited when someone clears a height.

Moe Wagner mentioned it on Sunday: This is so hard to do.

There were some close calls (vs. Luka’s Slovenia).

Germany just had the more experienced, athletic team and the most star power.

I‘m sorry… but hell no! He has broken the record so many times because he clears his own mark by a centimeter and stops. He gets more bonus money that way.

Seems like a cool dude, though, and means the world to pole vaulting.

I don't know the full context, but this is just a brutal scene.
On her Instagram stories, Cleo Rahman, also known as DJ Sky High Baby, shared another angle of the Fred Kerley altercation with police from last night in Miami.

Bodycam footage of the arrest has already been published by local news and TMZ.

I wish I could have seen more of Ricky Henderson‘s career.

My favorite story I’ve heard us how he would talk to himself in the third person when he hit because… of course…

I will always cherish this Showdown card. One of my favorite collectibles.
