	LJWorld.com : American pole vaulters claim gold, silver medals
		Particularly since Seagren's feat marked the 16th consecutive U.S. gold in pole vaulting, dating back to 1896, the longest streak in any Olympic sport.
		Hysong and Lawrence's victory lap in Sydney's Olympic Stadium was all the more impressive considering that Jeff Hartwig, the top vaulter in the world, failed to clear his opening height at the U.S. Olympic trials and was not on the team.
		There is no explaining the U.S. draught in pole vault, though the beginning of the end clearly came in '72, when officials disqualified Seagren's pole because of its new technology, giving East Germany the opening it needed to win gold while Seagren still managed the silver.
