Sergey Bubka's Gold Medal & Olympic Record - Seoul 1988 Olympics

As a kid, growing up you'd hear Bubka beating his own record time and again. He was and is a legend in a true sense.

[@Odinato69]

I was a pole vaulter in high school when Sergey was setting and repeatedly breaking his own records. Even though it was the cold war, and we were on opposite sides of the iron curtain, we didn't care; my pole vault buddies and I worshiped him. We understood it wasn't about politics, it was about sportsmanship and he was an absolute rock star to us and revered like no other. I wish I could've met him back then. For the record, I was best at my school at the time and could only clear a paltry 13 1/2 ft. in competition (not even in the same universe as Sergey.) What an amazing athlete. :)

Bubka is a super-athlete, the pinnacle of all world sport in history, a product of Soviet training for athletes.

I was there at the main stadium, on the same side of the vault, when he was competing that day....he won the gold! Then, he called for the bar to be set at the height of 20 feet (of course, it was measured in meters, so just over 6-meters-something). We were excited to see that he was in fine form and going to be the first to break 20 feet! He went down to get ready at the end of the runway....then....just then, the Seoul Olympic medal ceremony was rolled out and -- believe it or not -- went right across the runway for the Bubka's vault. Can you believe? (if i am not mistaken it was the ceremony for men's long jump...) Needless to say, he was not happy as it obviously broke his concentration and he strode down and put his pole in the tube and didn't go for the "20 feet." Gosh, we were pumped when he called for the "20 feet." If only a track administrator had said ..... "Hey, wait folks, let this last vaulter GO! Then, roll out the carpet and bring the podium and medals."

[@marccloutier4468]

Ah, too bad he was distracted and stopped. He cleared the 5.90 m (19'4"") jump by at least 6 inches. I stopped pole vaulting at 16 years old (1979), at a height of 4.65 meters (15'3"). I broke my arm when I landed next to the pole vault mats. Six months prior to that I shattered a fiber glass pole to pieces during competition. In each case I was distracted by curious people coming too close while I was vaulting. It's too dangerous for a vaulter to be distracted, and there should be a fenced barrier to prevent accidents.

Virtually the same thing happened the year before in the World Championships in Rome.

He aborted his attempt, and after the victory ceremony made one weak failed attempt and then called it a night. Needless to say, the crowd was ripped at the meet organizers.
