Never seen before on Trafalgar Square!
Don’t miss some spectacular pole vaulting by the best of both Dutch and British athletes who will be soaring 16 feet above your heads on the North Terrace of the square.
With the origins of the modern day sport firmly in Holland, where traditional poles were used as a practical means of passing over natural obstacles in marshy areas such as the province of Friesland, the country has also produced in Rens Blom a World Champion. Rens, who now acts as an ambassador of the sport and in particular the province of Limburg, will together with other Dutch and British athletes be demonstrating how to vault 16 feet and more, a full 2 years before the Olympics take place in London.
