I can get through every other event but I can not figure out what to do on the pole vault. Where do you put the pole down? Do you hold down the button as the player rises? When do you let go?
As soon as the pole vaulter gets to the referee hold the jump button until the pole is perpendicular with the ground and let go, then run to gain height then hold the jump button again to clear the bar. You want to try and get the end of the pole perfectly in the white box before the mat. The first perfect jump gets you 1000 point bonus, each consecutive perfect jump adds another 1000 points to the bonus up to 5000 points.

I got used to counting his steps. I think it's 12, or 15, can't remember right now. If you do that it will give you a pretty good sense of when to drop the pole. It's tough until you figure it out, then it doesn't seem so tough.
