The fiberglass pole used in pole vaulting is approximated by an “elastica” having an applied concentrated force and moment at the upper end. Presented is a parametric solution expressed in terms of the tabulated elliptic integrals. The results suggest an advantageous pole-vaulting technique which is not generally recognized by coaches and athletes.
