The men's pole vault at the 2015 World Championships in Athletics was held at the Beijing National Stadium on 22 and 24 August.

At the end of that round, only six jumpers remained and three others, Shawnacy Barber, Piotr Lisek and 2011 winner Paweł Wojciechowski also had no misses.

Barber, the National High School Record holder and NCAA Champion from the University of Akron, cleared on his first attempt.

On his last attempt Holzdeppe cleared 5.90 to stay in the competition, leaving a three-way tie for the bronze medal between Wojciechowski, Lisek, and Lavillenie.

Barber's initial success at 5.90 in the previous round gave him the gold medal over Holzdeppe.
