The Story of A Pole Vault Meltdown, Told In Photos

by Glenn Davis | 6:35 pm, March 5th, 2013

Earlier today, we wrote about Renaud Lavillenie, the pole vaulter who had a full-blown on-track freakout after a career-best jump was disallowed. He went on to easily wi the competition anyway, but for a moment, he was inconsolable, and it showed. It showed so much, in fact, that we’ve decided to revisit the story in photo form, because the pictures tell it so well. Without further ado, Anatomy Of A Pole Vault Tantrum. All photos via Getty.
