I don't know. Why?
The GB female pole vaulter Mollie Caudrey who happens to be the world champion and hot favourite for Olympic Gold, has failed at the first round of vaults.
She thought it a bit beneath her to start at 4.20m like her competitors, so went for 4.55m.
Failed all 3 jumps and is now going home.......................over confidence?............arrogance?

Many top vaulters do this to conserve energy for later attempts.
But not always the best choice.
About 50+ years ago my dad took me to an athletics meeting at White City. Exactly the same thing happened with the person from the club that we were supporting (can’t think who). It was a midweek evening event so pretty empty and we were as near as you could get to the pole vaulters. I remember my dad going mad and calling him all the silly sods under the sun!

Thank fchuk her todger didn't catch the bar, otherwise we'd be here all night. 
Not quite the reason... Coming in higher than your opposition means if there is a tie you'd win. It's called 'countback'. You're right about it not always working.
DuPlantis was that far over the bar , he could have been smuggling a fire extinguisher in his keks and still gone clear 
Exactly which idiotic spineless old reincarnated poster are you? It's so hard to keep up these days.Thank fchuk her todger didn't catch the bar, otherwise we'd be here all night.
