Seeking to become the first pole vaulter to win two Gold Medals, Bob Richards brushed the bar as he went over at 14 feet, 11 ½ inches, and then lay motionless in the pit for 30 seconds, staring up as it quivered above him. It finally stopped and stayed in place, giving Richards his Gold Medal and an Olympic record in the event. He broke his own record of 14-11, set in 1952 at Helsinki.
