And is pole vaulting a dorky sport?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
And just imagine what they could accomplish if they were to land on a trampoline after their jumps instead of that big pad.

New sport! TrampolVault!
It needs a third element to be like the Triple Jump. Maybe they finish with a dive into a pool? Or perhaps Trampoline Judo?

The bounce off the trampoline could lead into a mount on the uneven parallel bars. Or through a flaming ring if you wanted to add a more showy Seaworld dolphins act sort of element.

I think they should land on a horse, then go straight into a steeplechase. Or maybe a dressage routine. That way you can factor in equestrian skills aswell.

Legolas could do this. Maybe Batman. Xena. After that you'd run out of candidates.
