The International Amateur Athletic Federation approved a set of rule changes effective May 1, including removing the rule that a vaulter’s pole must not fall into the pit on a successful vault. US vaulters Pennel and Carrigan failed under the old rule in Olympic trials. The body also aims to curb use of international relay crews by birth or naturalization and to study a new 68-spike track shoe.
