Tell me everything you know about every other male pole vaulting gold medalist in history.
Nothing.
I’d rather be legend.
Some of us are quite a bit smarter than you give us credit for but we know you're a slow learner...
US men used to own this event. In fact we dominated. We won like 35% of all gold medals back in the day...
Bob Seagren was robbed of the gold in 1972 and also won two Superstars events.

"Four years later, in Munich, he remains best remembered for the Olympic gold medal he didn't get. In the 1972 Summer Olympics, a last-minute ruling barred the new banana-Pole from Olympic competition, forcing some vaulters, including Seagren, to compete with unfamiliar poles. East German Wolfgang Nordwig didn't use a Cata-Pole and won the gold medal, with Seagren coming second. It was the first time an American had failed to win the Olympic gold medal in the pole vault. In fact, no American would again win a gold medal in the pole vault until Nick Hysong won in 2000."
"Seagren won the inaugural American
Superstars sports competition in 1973 as well as the first
World Superstars in 1977, his lone victories in both events.
