 (OK you just said pole vaulting originated in Europe in the 19th century or earlier, then you said "Initially, vaulting poles were made from stiff materials such as bamboo or aluminum " which is stupid. Bamboo does not naturally occur in Europe and Aluminium was ridiculously expensive in the 19th century. What is the historic pole-vaultimg wood? I would guess Ligustrum vulgarus but that is a marginally educated guess. What is the history?
