Marios Evangelou
Olympic pole vaulter
Marios Evangelou (Greek: Μάριος Ευαγγέλου; born 8 May 1981 in Thessaloniki) is a retired Greek pole vaulter. He was selected to compete for the host nation Greece's largest Olympic team in the men's pole vault at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and also trained as a member of the athletics squad for the sport club Panathinaikos. In June 2004, Evangelou demolished a national record at 5.62 m to win the title from the Greek Championships at the Olympic Stadium in Athens.
Evangelou qualified for the Greek squad in the men's pole vault at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. Two months before the Games, he successfully cleared 5.62 m to demolish the four-year-old national record (previously set by Stavros Tsitouras in 2000) and reach an Olympic B-standard from the Greek Championships at the Olympic Stadium. Much to the delight from the immense Greek crowd inside the Olympic Stadium, Evangelou started off with two disappointing fouls until he strongly vaulted over 5.30 m on the third attempt. Failing to clear his next targeted height of 5.50 m after three straight misses, Evangelou shared a thirty-third spot with South Korea's Kim Yoo-Suk as the last remaining pole vaulters to round out the overall standings at the end of the qualifying round.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Marios Evangelou” as olympic pole vaulter. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as olympic pole vaulter. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q19666289. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1981, 2004 and 2000.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
