World's Highest Pole Vault! Sergey Bubka wins gold at the 1993 World Champs.

[@vika08gr]

18 years later and you,sergey,still make us proud!!

[@MANSIKKAKAKKU-xx4ki]

ONE OF MY IDOLS IS BUBKA

[@rasfus]

The slowmo at 4:10 is amazing

[@georgemiranda227]

Bubka's vault at 5.90 was probably the highest vault in history as the graphic said, at least until last week. Duplantis cleared 6.18 with almost as much clearance as that 5.90 jump by Bubka. In fact almost every jump by Duplantis in the last two weeks has been higher than that Bubka jump in this video. Duplantis is now on another planet from anyone who has ever pole vaulted including Bubka.

[@NoahBodze]

Duplantis is standing on the shoulders of giants. Bubka is that giant. He’s the Babe Ruth and Michael Jordan of this sport.

GOAT

[@tylsimys67]

It's amazing how many former Soviet Union track&field-legends were Ukrainians: Valeri Borzov, Sergei Bubka, Juri Sedykh, Igor Ter-Ovanesyan, Vladimir Yashchenko, Nikolai Avilov. Not to mention those other 13 states of champions to the USSR.

[@androgorbacio445]

from the Ukrainian Soviet Republic

[@stillgonnasendit5068]

tylsimys67 well there is a reason why the USSR had so many Olympic medals I can name a couple of times when the whole podium was USSR

[@davestar4718]

[@Sanoi737]

awesome clip!! thanks for uploading :)

[@5350nbrookmist]

Looks like he was jumping on a standard fiberglass Spirit pole. No carbon fiber. This is why Bubka will forever be the GOAT regardless if his records are broken. Only Cornelius Warmerdam can come close.

[@jackoettingerh2210]

Mondo jumps on fiberglass poles?

[@ethankett4155]

I'm just starting my high school sophomore indoor season for pole vaulting. Current pr is 11'6 as of last year, hoping to compete in state this year.

Thanks for posting!!!!!

[@veiko124]

I think the highest jump was in Athens WC when Bubka cleared 6.01 and he had almost 20-30 cm of space between him and the bar:)

[@Mrn00bz0rz]

-SOMEONE who breaks bubka's record- should say: "You may have shortened the pegs but I raised the bar"

[@GingerbreaddMannn]

I just started pole vaulting this year as a Freshman and I really like it! I'm going 13' right now I wish I started earlier!!!

[@abhishekchandran9012]

Where did you reach?

[@dylantuttle1800]

i tend to have not enough time to vault because of weather condition, what do i do in the off season to help my vaulting in the future also in the bend do you think you need to learn to do it or does it come naturally

[@cfarr18]

awesome! congrats! i meant no disrespect by that comment, i only cleared 9'6 as a freshman in high school! im now a 16+ vaulter from a 14 foot pole, planning on 17 next year!

[@1humdrum]

I think one of these jumps are the word record!

[@crash711000]

Et Renaud Lavillenie bat ce record aujourd'hui en atteignant les 6.16 m! Bravo a Renaud d'avoir battu ce record historique! Exceptionnelle!!!

[@lMobiuscidl]

but indoor, on a hollow track

[@dylantuttle1800]

coaches always help, especially when you get to bending the pole, i have been teaching myself, i have just been starting to bend, does the bend just start coming or is it something you have to learn

[@FLaSHBaCK353]

My question is what made that particular vault superior to all of his other vaults. I feel like the time he spent training was so vast that vaulting for the large part was mostly autonomous for him. Obviously in a sport like vaulting things are always changing, but at his level where did that extra energy come from to make that such a great jump, i'm always under the impression that all of his well executed vaults are spectacular

[@ozler94]

Whats the thing that he falls on called?

[@veiko124]

And another amazing vault was when Bubka tried 6.16 outdoors...i don't remember the year or a place but this jump is in youtube. He didn't clear it but it was a very high vault.

[@Jonathanaymond]

Congratulations mondo!!! 6.17

[@dylantuttle1800]

7,6" for a 7th grader is pretty decent, it puts you in that position to clear 9-11 feet as a freshmen which in our division is on the bubble of making the state championships, and as a freshman that is good.

[@robertletsche9492]

How did you highschool career end?

[@mandykhoo2473]

Great competition

[@MrPyro252]

Maine class C and we are now state champions sacopee all the way! Even though I did not make 8'6 which was starting at states I was just honered to be there as a freshman!

[@q12aw50]

They started at 8’6 at state? Better question you got to state with an 8’6?

[@creeperowner]

I started pole vaulting this year and i get that all the time

how many feet is this??

[@jfp521]

what state do u live in?!

[@dylantuttle1800]

9 is okay, it a start, it may not score at championship meets, but its a good pivot point

[@cfarr18]

holy cow!! where do you live??

[@cfarr18]

i like the part with the balloons

[@aclwitt]

[@popmunch1]

[@FORESTDONS]

There is only one bubka..His record will only be broken if another extra ordinary talent comes and i don't when it will happen..I think bubka's record will stay on for another 50 years or more.

[@chrislaw4189]

Wrong, a better pole vaulter came less than a decade after your post.

[@DualGenStudios]

2:47 that`s probably 6.30 metres. The greatest (with Duplantis)

[@burghersthebeast]

Is 9'6'' good for first season?(8th grade)

[@basketballislife77]

How high is this in feet?

[@goofyguy477]

20-40 feet?

[@derenkoff]

good luck

[@MrPyro252]

hey thats provisional states here in maine (idk bout any other state)

[@Th3ch0s3n0n3s]

and what's that in normal measurements?

[@Fre3ZinRain]

Yes it is, I would be surprised if you don't get at least 10'6" next year.... this was my first season too

[@maciej12345678]

2:48 so what 6.40?

yes, what is 10'6" in normal measurements?

Wow that was amazing i cant even jump 1 meter and there jumping 6 meters just amazing

Dude, I just wish we had a coach...

[@nptennisfreeks]

is anyone confused on how u train for this... like for the first time...

[@atita4]

thing starts at 2:02

[@embe1]

I think it helps to be a little crazy to do the pole vault. As for Sergei Bubka-that man might have some Siberian tiger DNA in his family.

[@CautionChildrens]

Hahah i love how he gets to celebrate from 4:23 to 4:28 and by that time hes probably already bored.

[@KenniIsBored]

I'm 14 and I'm hoping by my senior year to be in the 2016 Rio Olympics. I wish to participate in the women's pole vaulting :') Maybe win a metal. Maybe gold 3 For now I aim for the best in the state, wish me luck guys :)

[@luccaradhuany]

Mondo Duplantis smoked them all.

[@dylantuttle1800]

12'3 is decent for the state we live in and the weather we get, its just higher than my goal for sophomore year

[@Fre3ZinRain]

Bend will come naturally with proper technique and practice. Try to find clinics at other high schools or colleges during the off season. For instance I'm going to Central Michigan University, Fowlerville (Michigan Highschool), Flushing (Michigan Highschool) and my own school is doing a summer clinic (Linden, again in Michigan) You preferably will want to bring the pole you a going to vault with next year but most clinics will have poles you can use.

[@MrPyro252]

well my school is class C. I assume you are class A because this year 10'6 was states for class A in maine.

[@shoppingmonster22]

so epic...

[@MrPyro252]

hey im going to states with that height this year

[@joelredblue]

9'6" is a pretty good start but you are going to step it up next yr i hit 10' my 8th grade yr as well and now as a freshman i am at 12 ft so you will be fine!

[@rajivmurkejee7498]

Bubka would probably be unhappy with his career having only one Olympic gold when he had a long career and was a level better than everyone else

[@metaltera86]

Holy crap. The varsity mens at my high school do 12' compared to this 0.o

[@carlosthehyena]

If these guys could emulate Yelena Isinbayeva's near flawless mechanical form we might have a 21 ft. mens vault.

im at 9' feet to is that decent for a first season

[@Knight-brolaire]

what? to even qualify for state in MN (where I live) you'd have to vault 10'2" for girls or 13'6 for guys.

[@SevenDeMagnus]

Very nice sport.

[@CazeDaNorte-CDN]

Aaiiiinnn nobru apelão

[@MrPyro252]

Thats because of our population even with that low of a height only 19 people made it. The bigger the population of the sport the higher the height goes so they don't have 200 people going to states.

[@daltondelancey8810]

20 ft 2 and 1/8 inches

[@joebro391]

@athleticsdvds veiko124 is right, it's not even close. the 6.01 (6.40-jump) in athens will never be matched. -6P
