Emma's World record collection

Emma George broke the women's Pole Vault world record on February 20th, 1999 - for the 10th time.

That day, it was her own record that Emma broke - as it was the previous eight times she vaulted higher than any other woman in the world.

Add a Commonwealth Games gold medal to that, and you certainly have yourself a career worth celebrating.

Object of the Game is a podcast presented by the National Sports Museum at the MCG, telling the stories behind the objects on display in the museum.
