Javier Sebastián Gazol Condón (born 27 October 1980 in Zaragoza), known as Javier Gazol, is a Spanish pole vaulter.[1] Representing his nation Spain in the men's pole vault at the 2004 Summer Olympics, Gazol cleared a height at 5.60 metres to set his own personal best from the Spanish Championships in Almería.[2] Throughout his sporting career, Gazol trained for the track and field club Transbaso Monzón Polidux, under his personal coach Hans Ruf.[3]
Gazol qualified for the Spanish squad as a lone athlete in the men's pole vault at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens. Nearly a week before the Games commenced, Gazol improved his personal best and an Olympic B-standard of 5.60 m to earn a spot on the Spanish team at the national championships in Almería.[2] [4] Gazol successfully vaulted 5.30 m on his first attempt, but failed to raise the bar at a targeted height of 5.50 m after three straight misses, leaving him in a twenty-eighth place draw with Czech Republic's Štěpán Janáček and Australia's Steven Hooker at the end of the qualifying round.[5] [6]
