It really doesn't take much intelligence to realize that you can raise the world record by 1 cm at a time. He was so far ahead of the others that he had the luxury of using that opportunity.

Exactly, he was always flying with so much clearance but why leave the money on the table.

Good jumps.

Yess, a video on Mondo would be amazing

Mondo should do more of wolrd records! He have time!. This man 17 time breaking the recordsss

Sorry, but Bubka is still the greatest. Duplantis is still far away from Bubka feats

@@pepelopezcrecimientopersonal lol. Even Bubka says Duplantis is the best to ever do it.

One of my former coaches mentioned that Bubka cleared 6.30 m in a training session in 1989, but that's rumors. I think Bubka was able to jump that high: biomechanic experts analyzed his victory jump of the 1997 world championchips in Athens. He celared 6.01 m but his actual height was way above. The experts came to the conclusion that he could have cleared 6.25 to 6.30 m with that jump. You can see his 1997 performance in the following video: pause it somewhere around 33,52 minutes. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rdSdjZShybW0lWQ.html

@@a-liquis6456 Thanks for sharing

@@a-liquis6456 thanks. Annoying if true, I get the Financial incentive to improve the WR by the minimum increment but its also denied a truly stellar record for the ages. 6.30m in 1989 would have been like Sotomayors high jump 2.45 or Powells 1991 Long jump ... ie a record that transcends the era. Even Mondo, who is clearly a special athlete, would struggle to get up there.

@@a-liquis6456 I cleared 4.00m in training, didn't get anywhere near that in competition, but perfect jumps are rare, if you look at the 6.16 from Lavillenie, he was well over that mark and sometimes you see Duplantis with huge space left on 6.05, but you have to do that on the right moment and Bubka was great a that, but polevaulting is not like long jump, in which the perfect jump will be the absolute best you can do.

A proud Russian Ukrainian

I don't know the exact number, but Haile Gebrselassie was close to that. Paavo Nurmi might have also had more, but those are old and records were murkier back then.

@@jacknisbet3954 I think Haile was at 27. Nurmi, 22.

I thought after the first 35 records he went on to set another 31 records making it 66. I think he says it around 2:40

@@jboww2121 Nope, he had 35 world records. No more, no less.

@@timmytheinventor4746 the no more no less part was a little weird but alright good to know

that analogy is stupid ... a shotputter, or discus, or javelin thrower could conceivably throw in increments of centimeters too, if they were so inclined, by your reasoning ... that is just as stupid as what you are inferring

@@patriciatutaki3322 imagine being a keyboard warrior and calling someone stupid when it's YOU who doesn't understand... by your logic Usain Bolt could have have ran 9.71, 9.70, 9.69, 9.68, 9.67, 9.66, 9.65, 9.64, 9.63, 9.62, 9.61, 9.60, 9.59, 9.58 in order and earned alot more payouts for breaking the world record over and over The point is that in pole vault you can set the bar at 1cm above world record height. If you clear it, the height of the bar is marked as the record. The margin by which you clear it is irrelevant, so Sergey was never at risk of jumping too high and bumping the record up too much in one go

Lol

They only have Tkachenko listed as WR holder.

@@cajun5150 Its interesting, Rukavishnikovas record was never actually ratified although I cannot find out why. The same thing happened in the 1972 Olympics with Heide Rosendahl and Mary Peters.

Bubka was holding himself back, because for everytime he broke world record, he received some money/bonus from his land. That’s why he ended at 6.14, maybe there was some room left but he had no reason to go 10cm at once, he was adding 1 after another.

U didn't understand the video.

Duplantis avec une perche de 1994 ,je ne suis pas du tout sur qu’il réaliserais les performances d’aujourd'hui Évitez de comparer.

thanks for that. I would have sworn he'd gone over 6.1m but I didn't realise it was indoors.

Bubka certainly knew how high he could go. I do wonder how high he could have reached if he went for his absolute best at his peak.

One of the greatest "what ifs" of all time!

Be cool to see how Sergey would do with the slightly more modern poles and track surfaces. Mondo is pretty nuts.

But there would be seven other jumpers between Edwards two WRs. In this case it could be the jump right after, if Bubka did it in his first attempt on 5,94, as there probably were only two vaulters left in the competition.

@@niklasnilsson4705 I have no idea of the relevance of your comment but one athlete beating a world record twice in two successive attempts is the greater achievement.

@@david2804me I think the fact that Bubka beat the WR 35 times was a WR in beaten WRs and that he lost it for some minutes was WR for shortest time between two WRs. Edwards WRs are another story...

@@niklasnilsson4705 OK but I stand by my original comment that Edwards beating the world record twice in two successive jumps in 1995 and that the second jump is still the world record today, 26 years later, is the greater achievement. BTW, of the 35 times Bubka broke the world record, most of the time it was his own world record which he was improving by one centimetre increments each time because there was a financial bonus each time he broke the WR.....this approach is only possible in two events...the high jump and the pole vault. Edwards' beat the previous world record by 18 cms in his first jump and then by a further 13cms on his second jump...sadly, one cannot count that as 31 world records.

@@david2804me and even it he did it 31 times, it's still not 35 :) , not to mention consistency over the years. It is quite different to be in top shape for 5 years or for a more than a decade, injuries and all the rest which comes with being at the very top.

"supplements" lol.

Sad day, that one...

Good points.

No you won't, the click bait is too strong and his titles are only getting worse

That was so bad.

Bubka cleared 6.01 m at the World Championchips in 1997 and his actual height was way above. Pause the following video at 33,52: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rdSdjZShybW0lWQ.html

He barely made 6.19

@@Robert_McGarry_Poems he hasn't made 6.19, but that competition in Glasgow in 2020 he did clear 6.18 by a huge margin.

no that keep raising the bar didnt happen en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men%27s_pole_vault_world_record_progression

The video is about Bubka breaking the world record a few minutes after it was broken, i.e. shortest timespan between world records.

Probably.

Lewis' jump was not a world record as it was wind aided

video is not about that.

Common myth there. It's not easy for enyone to brake a record and it's only very natural to set the bar one cm over when you can choose. Probably you think two cm would be to much. It's almorst impossible to then jump AGAIN even higher, when you are exhausted after a long competition and your best ever performance just achieved.

@@andreaswiklund7197 Maybe so, but as a track and field athlete who competed internationally against the Soviets in the 80's, I can state this was not the case with Bubka. He could have gone higher many times, but chose not to.

@@michaellayman945 Ok interesting thanks. True for Bubka then. But today people are saying the same thing about Duplantis, and that I dont believe for a second.

@@andreaswiklund7197 I also don't think so for Duplantis as I believe he jumping at his current limits. He is also being well compensated. He is still young and no doubt he will increase his WR.

@@jesseseville5992 do you think as the world record get higher and higher, vaulters will be permitted to use poles longer than 16'?

Bubka was one of the few people who used longer than 17' poles. Those things were like 2" across. Like freaking telephone poles.

There's no limitation on length or material.

Do not be fooled, the pole will never make up for bad technique.

No. 9.95 is a big deal. Only like 20-25 people have ever cleared 6 m.

@@Robert_McGarry_Poems I believe 25 exactly, counting either indoor or outdoor. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_vault#Six_metres_club

How about learn the metric system like the other 99% of the world instead of thinking your some sort of special case

@@Arrica101 // I hope you have a great day too; thanks.

5.80 is 19'1/4" every 10 cm is 4" ...............

@@cajun5150 // Thank you Frank; I do understand how to convert the measurements, it's just that as each measurement is given I need to pause the video and convert the numbers, or I have an idea of just how long, fast, high, etc each one actually is. Thanks again.
