I Horsham, UK –don’t think it’s unfair to say that a lot of people only remember the sport of pole vaulting exists once every four years, at the Olympic Games.
How many people have had the chance to try pole vaulting? There can’t be too many successful vaulters around, but there can’t be many that have tried this sport. Therefore, my imagination immediately runs wild when the notice from Horsham District Council to say they are running pole vaulting sessions for 13-21 year olds over the summer lands on my desk. This was it – my ticket to sporting stardom had arrived. With all respect to pole vaulting, naturally I thought I was about to enter an untapped sporting goldmine. There is one hurdle – I have never had much luck with sport. My enthusiasm to compete has always outweighed my talent. Far outweighed, if we’re being honest. I’m undeterred, though, and start to plan my trip to Rio de Janeiro for the Olympics in 2016. It’s a hassle that I have to fly from Heathrow as Gatwick doesn’t go there, but I won’t mind when I’m sunning myself on a Rio beach. more
