Juridically, organic laws are at the same level as ordinary laws. The difference between the two is in the more restrictive process for creating organic laws and in the matters that they regulate.

Pole Vault: Technique, Rules and History

The pole vault is a track and field event that challenges athletes to clear a horizontal bar set at height using a flexible pole. This pole is usually 4 to 5 meters long and is commonly made of fiberglass and carbon fiber, which replaced bamboo and metal in the early 1960s.
