world Men Pole Vault History

Venue: Olympic Stadium, Seoul. Capp.: 69,950.
21 competitors from 13 nations.
By the time of the 1988 Games, Bubka had established himself as the greatest vaulter in the world, with nine outdoor world records including the first ever 6m clearance three years earlier. The qualifying height was 5.55, as only 15 made 5.40, it was decided to terminate the pro- ceedings. Only the Soviets opened higher than 5.40 (Bubka and Gataullin 5.50, Yegorov 5.45). In the final six men made 5.70 and Vigneron withdrew at 5.75 after injuring an ankle. Bell and Collet failed, leaving the three passers – the Soviet jumpers – to fight for the gold. Yegorov set an Olympic record in clearing 5.80 first time, and Gataullin cleared 5.85 at his third try. Bubka had passed 5, 75, 5, 80 and 5.85, but now went for 5.90. After two poor failures, Bubka changed poles, using a larger one, and had one of his soaring clearances for the gold. He later described his win- ning jump as “one of my best vaults ever”. The win cemented the first and only Soviet clean sweep in the event.
