And besides-
If somebody set a record a few years ago over a crossbar that was sitting on pegs that
were longer than currently allowed, and all recollections are that the athlete didn't
even touch the bar ANYWAY while going over- then why in the world would his record get
thrown out?
This rule
metals
in hammers was banned, etc., etc.

Wouldn't this be cause for a whole new set of records because the equipment
has changed significantly, just like the javelin.
And with it would come new record bonuses.
For the stats nut, we'd have a paralleling of rating of poles (14'/165lb) -
vaulters who can be rated 18'6"/55m or 19'2/75mm.

HAMBURG, Germany (March 5, 2003 11:53 a.m. EST) - About 20 leading pole
vaulters sent a letter to track and field's governing body to protest rule
changes they say will make records more difficult.
The group wants the IAAF to reconsider the changes, especially the reduction
of pole vault pegs
