France’s Renaud Lavillenie, the world record-holder for the men’s pole vault, is the latest star to donate significant competition items to the IAAF Heritage Collection.
IAAF Heritage, which aims to preserve and savour artefacts from the best athletics moments to help promote the sport and engage with fans, was publicly launched at the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Birmingham on 4 March this year. So, it seems somewhat appropriate that Lavillenie, who became a three-time world indoor gold medallist when winning in Birmingham on the same day as the launch, should join the growing list of global champions, past and present, to give his support to this athletics legacy project.
