2014 IAAF World Indoor Championships – Men's pole vault

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The men's Pole Vault at the 2014 IAAF World Indoor Championships took place on 8 March 2014. The best vaulter of the 2014 indoor season, France's Renaud Lavillenie did not compete at Sopot after suffering a foot injury shortly after he set a new world record of 6.16 metres on 15 February at Donetsk, Ukraine.

The gold and silver medallists both achieved the same height (5.80 metres). As of July 2024 this is the only time this has happened in the men's pole vault at these championships.
