Canal
Vaulting
Canal
Vaulting is like a normal vaulting sport but instead of vaulting over
a pole it is vaulting over a canal.
They
use a pole that is between 3 and 5 meters long which has a round
flat plate stuck on the bottom which prevents the pole from sinking
in to the mud in the canal.
The
contestants have to run and jump onto the pole to try and vault to
the other side of the canal.
There
is a National Canal Vaulting Contest held every on the 22nd
of August there is no prize except the Honour winning.
This is a video of the canal vaulting world record held by Jaco De Groot with a jump of 20.41 meters
