Stacy Dragila, in celebration of the 20-year anniversary of her winning the first Olympic women's pole vault gold medal September 25, 2000, in Sydney, Australia, joins DyeStat editor Erik Boal to reflect on "Magic Monday" at ANZ Stadium and what many track and field historians consider the greatest night of competition in Olympic history. Dragila reminisces about competing in front of 112,574 fans and the challenge of vaulting during the loudest part of the schedule after Australian Cathy Freeman had captured the gold medal in the women's 400 meters for the host nation, followed by American Michael Johnson repeating as men's 400-meter Olympic champion. She revisits having to make a third-attempt clearance at 14-9 (4.50m) just to remain in the competition, then outlasting Australia's Tatiana Grigorieva with clearances at 14-11 (4.55m) and 15-1 (4.60m) to eventually capture the gold medal. Dragila expresses gratitude to Australian Emma George for being such an ambassador and trailblazer in the event globally that allowed for the pole vault to be added to the Olympic schedule in 2000, instead of being showcased only as an exhibition after it was not included in the Olympic program in 1996 in Atlanta, in addition to only being considered an exhibition event that year at the U.S. Olympic Trials. She reveals the benefits of competing in February 2000 in Brisbane and Sydney in an effort to become familiar with the environment and time change in Australia, and especially vaulting in ANZ Stadium in preparation for the Olympics. Dragila also looks back on the days in practice in Idaho when she was challenged to make third-attempt clearances as a dress rehearsal for major international meets, as well as the Olympic Trials that year in Sacramento, and how she needed to clear at least one height on the third try en route to winning the 1997 World Indoor Championships, 1999 World Outdoor Championships and the Olympic title. Dragila shares her pride for the depth today of the women's pole vault globally, with Americans Sandi Morris, Katie Nageotte and 2012 Olympic gold medalist Jenn Suhr among the elite athletes in the world. She also emphasizes the importance of educating and instructing the next generation of aspiring competitors through her annual Stacy Dragila Vault Camps, as well as through her Stick Jumping program, which has reached more than 44,000 kids in 112 schools across 20 states and four countries since starting in 2015.
