The European Pole Vault and High Symposium is part of the European Athletics Coaching Summit Series that is held annually. Leeds Beckett University has previously had the honour of hosting three Summit Series conferences in race walking.
This weekend’s conference attracted more than 200 top coaches, sports scientists and athletes to take part in talks and practical sessions. Dr Nicholson highlighted the key results from the high jump competitions in London, with Dr Hanley presented findings from the pole vault events. Dr Hanley has worked closely with Helen Gravestock, our event director for the pole vault in London, to provide novel insights into this most complicated of events.
