Women's pole vault world record progression

(Redirected from World record progression pole vault women)

The first world record in the women's pole vault was recognised by the International Association of Athletics Federations in 1994. The inaugural record, 4.05 metres by Sun Caiyun of China set in 1992, was the world's best mark as of December 31, 1994.[1]

As of June 21, 2009, the IAAF has ratified 54 world records in the event.[2]

Pre-IAAF Record Progression edit

The first mark shows the measurement system in use at the time of the jump, the second mark shows the conversion. Marks set in the USA during this era were always measured in imperial measurements. Most of the world and IAAF recognize marks in metric measurements.

So far, only one event - the women's pole vault - has been affected by this change, which was not applied retrospectively. Therefore world records set in 2000 and 2001 by Stacy Dragila and Svetlana Feofanova can be regarded as 'absolute' and appear on these [record progression] lists." [1] (p.546) This rule also applies to Isinbayev's and Feofanova's 2004 marks.

However, multiple sources elsewhere, including the IAAF's own list of highest women's indoor vaults of the year 2004,[2] state that Svetlana Feofanova in fact set this record.
