Vaulter Magazine pole vault video – Rev. Bob Richards, The Stories

We had the wonderful opportunity to interview Mr. Richards thanks to his son. They remain pole vault gold for all that take the time to listen to his stories. A true elite athlete, legend, and gentleman.
Robert Eugene Richards (born February 20, 1926) is an American retired athlete, minister, and politician. He made three U.S. Olympic Teams in two events: the 1948, 1952, and 1956 Summer Olympics as a pole vaulter and as a decathlete in 1956. He won gold medals in pole vault in both 1952 and 1956, becoming the only male two-time champion in the event in Olympic history..........................................................................................
