Despite his ankle injury, Renaud Lavillenie managed to qualify for the Olympic pole vault final. The Frenchman will also be the only French representative, his brother Valentin Lavillenie and Ethan Cormont having been eliminated after qualifying. To access this final of the Tokyo Olympics, Renaud Lavillenie was scared. Qualifying was not easy for him who missed his first attempts at 5.50 m. He then managed to cross 5.65 and 5.75 m, which will allow him to face the two big favorites of this men's pole vault event. The very first is Armand Duplantis, the world record holder of the discipline with 6.18 m, and 6.15 m outdoors for the best performance of all time outdoors, 26 years after Sergei Bubka.The second man to be wary of in these Olympics is Thiago Braz, reigning Olympic champion. The other cador of the discipline, Sam Kendricks (bronze at the Rio Olympics, double world champion 2017 and 2019), was forced to withdraw after having tested positive. As often, this Olympic pole vault final promises us a great spectacle, with a battle for the podium on which Renaud Lavillenie has every chance to climb.with a battle for the podium on which Renaud Lavillenie has every chance to climb.with a battle for the podium on which Renaud Lavillenie has every chance to climb.
