Bob Richards

Richards, an ordained minister nicknamed the "Vaulting Vicar", won Olympic gold in Helsinki in 1952 and Melbourne in 1956 in the era of rigid metal poles. He remains the only man to win the Olympic pole vault twice, and his consistency in championship conditions, more than any single height, made him the dominant vaulter of the 1950s. He was also the first athlete to appear on the front of a Wheaties box.
