Marios Evangelou (Greek: Μάριος Ευαγγέλου; born May 8, 1981 in Thessaloniki) is a retired Greek pole vaulter.[1] 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.[2] 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.[3]
Evangelou qualified for the Greek squad in the men's pole vault at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.[4] 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.[3][5] 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.[6]
