World Record: Sergey Bubka, Soviet Union 6.03m Praga, Czechoslovakia 23rd July 1987
Championship Record: Sergey Bubka, Soviet Union 5.70m Helsinki, Finland 14th August 1983
Bubka, now firmly established as one of the world’s greatest athletes, took just two jumps to retain his title. He came in at 5.70 (same as his 1983 winning height) and returned at 5.85, at which point all but three of the finalists had been elim inated. These three (Gataullin, Vigneron and Kolasa) all went out at 5.85 whereas Bubka cleared easily. The Soviet vaulter then had the bar raised to 6.05.
Just as he was preparing for his first attempt, a fanfare began for the women’s shot put medal ceremony, causing an angry Bubka to abort his effort. He returned with two poor tries before retiring.
