[sevidg]

[slavixtube]

@sevidg

Ukrainian and Russian are same people.

[chrisgaitanis]

Dude, this was his vault in 1993 :P

[FLaSHBaCK353]

@chrisgaitanis was it? I believe you're wrong on that one, that is 1997 with a less than stellar camera

[speedy19921]

hey this guy is so amaizing, i thing Bubka polevaulted with Freigtag. I am a junior almort a senior in high school and i am jumping 13 feet. i am hoping to jump 15 feet or higher for my senior year. Good luck to everione and Bubka on polevaulting.

[ralucagymnast]

Just unbelievable; the amount of strength required to pull over is unreal. Maybe thats why hes the world record holder, yes?

[coltonluprodgers]

I'm a freshmen that jumps 11 feet hope to be better next year

[marleybob9a]

he's the best!

[Fleagle21Parkour]

I love this, the guy right before him thought he won, and that got Bubka angry lol.

[TheJetfighter13]

the proper term for that type of clearance is "skyed" and he was just about perfect wish i could do that he jumps twice my hight

[TrajicNicoli]

He was and will always be one of my idols. One cannot accomplish what he has accomplished and not be inspiring to others.

@coffeecup212121

They killed even Jesus,You can't pretend every man is fair.

But God knows Sergey Bubka is the greatest pole vaulter ever lived.

Someday his record will be beaten,but no one else will be as great as him in that discipline

@WiscPaddler511...heres a comment he made during a speech in '97..." I also discovered some new ways to motivate myself. One was to scream just before I began my runup because this helped me concentrate and to raise my fighting spirit."

[MrJesseRG]

So Rad, So good. Awesome to watch

[masonbalzee]

@britnell101 i doubt it. good try tho.

[morten4u]

@britnell101

Well, even if he was, all the other athletes would have the same steroids, so it' still amazing and impressing.

[Bajinjo]

@britnell101 Go suicide the world won't miss you scum

[britnell101]

@Bajinjo steriods is called cheating

[Bajinjo]

@britnell101

Ok Troll now die forever,as Sergey will live =)

[thegrizzly11]

wow thats amazing.

[die0my0jay]

yeah, the soviets payed him extra everytime he set a new world record. so he only went up a little bit each time he vaulted, knowing he could break it later. atleast thats wat iv been told

[WiscPaddler511]

whats he yelling about at :15?

[gautlet996]

@WiscPaddler511 He might be pumping himself up

[Campe214]

Magic of the Pole Vault...!! Best of all times

[armwood2010]

[lapizlazuli66]

[armwood2010]

haha yea it lookes like he was psyching himself up for the vault. i do that sometimes.

[DanielGardnerPV]

Japanese sport scientists worked out that that vault would have cleared 6.40, and others at the same competition would have cleared over 6.30!!! :0

[AlexIsUber]

he wasn't even close to touching it too, he went wayy over lol

[IAMKNIFER]

@AlexIsUber yeah aha pause at :23 and he is about a foot over

[sarah1573]
