Footage from the 1988 Seoul Olympics in which Ukrainian Olympic legend Sergey Bubka claims Gold and breaks the Olympic record in the process in the Pole Vault.
In Seoul 1988, Bubka had his first opportunity to shine in the Olympic Games, having stayed out of Los Angeles four years earlier due to the Soviet Union boycott.
Representing the USSR in Seoul, Sergey Bubka broke the Olympic record with a 5.90m mark which also gave him the Olympic gold medal. His fellow Soviets Rodion Gataullin and Grigoriy Yegorov join him on the podium.
Bubka would still compete in the Barcelona 1992, Atlanta 1996 and Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. He is currently a member of the International Olympic Committee.

The legendary Mr. Sergey Bubka. Saw him in Tokyo 2020, holding a medal tray for one of the swimming medals ceremony. Amazing person! So handsome then and now.
So nice to hear of the nice person!
🙏🙏🙏
Very recently his record was broken. Great person though.
Hes clearly not handsome in his youth

As a kid, growing up you'd hear Bubka beating his own record time and again. He was and is a legend in a true sense.
I was 8 years old and I remember seeing it on tv. Olympics was so mesmerizing spectacle.
You're old now
Be in
I early exposure, when I saw my first Olympics I was in my 10 th sitting for boards , we had just got the black & white T.V. & apart from studying I also took time off for Wacthing my Olympics in 1984.
1980. Me too
And me! Me too. Respect From Russia!
I was a pole vaulter in high school when Sergey was setting and repeatedly breaking his own records. Even though it was the cold war, and we were on opposite sides of the iron curtain, we didn't care; my pole vault buddies and I worshiped him. We understood it wasn't about politics, it was about sportsmanship and he was an absolute rock star to us and revered like no other. I wish I could've met him back then. For the record, I was best at my school at the time and could only clear a paltry 13 1/2 ft. in competition (not even in the same universe as Sergey.) What an amazing athlete. :)
Imagine being so good, the only record you can break is yours.

He was methodical. You get a bonus every time you break the record. One cm at a time.

The legendary Sergei Bubka. He was his own competition, for the lack of it from others.
History repeating with Armand Duplantis

We got tired of collecting sportsstar magazine centrespread each time he broke his own record...honour to the legend.❤❤❤
One off the Greatest Athletes of all time without question. Absolute legend.
А после прыжка он кричал: всем спасибо...😀
He’s miles over the bar, flawless.
Yes indeed! You could wonder just how high he actually went.
@@tomcairns756 about 6,20 I guess
@packsaddlemaker The glass is half full.
@packsaddlemaker LOL, there is always one negative twat online isn't there
@@DigitalSamTV everyone looks at hips but its the chest legs and arms that knock the bar off most time. thats what you have to look at when you talk bar clearance. this jump he was way over it thou.
Помню. Смотрел по телевизору все его выступления 32 года назад. Даже не верится что прошло столько лет. Совсем не подозревал что ждало впереди...
Эх...
А что его ждало впереди?
@@user-gg6nv7bf9l Не его - нас.
@@PavelKinik а нас что ждало?(просто интересно , я вообще не понимаю о чем речь )
@@user-gg6nv7bf9lВась, Донецк(тренировочный лагерь Бубки) и Луганск(родной город Бубки) в оккупации. Области разорваны русскими мародерами. А так норм, ничего вроде бы не произошло
That last jump - could’ve cleared 6.10 easily!
когда он стал президентом федерации по прыжкам в высоту с шестом!!!!! он укоротил держатели для перекладины, чтобы никто не побил его рекорд- (Вот он твой Бубка)!
The 1st name that pops in to my head when I hear "Pole Vault" is Sergey Bubka. In fact, before the word "Pole" is finished I'm already thinking his name. The 80's & 90's was all Bubka. Chiseling away at the record, centimeter by centimeter to pick up those bonuses for breaking the record. Not just a phenomenal athlete but a smart man too :D
of course he is!!! He is now the headliner of national olympic committee of ukraine. and the most influence chairman in ukrainian sports. besides, he is successful businessman, and quite rich person!!
For me. He is the most famous olympuc athlete of all time.
зато когда он стал президентом федерации по прыжкам в высоту с шестом!!!!! он укоротил держатели для перекладины, чтобы никто не побил его рекорд- (Вот он твой Бубка)!
Nice of Bubka to send greetings to Duplantis who today did 6,15 outdoors!
I am from Germany. When i was a little child i have seen him live in TV. WOW, what a great man! Big respekt!
He used to break his own records in increments and his sponsors paid him fortunes each time he did...legend !
В Советском Союзе не было спонсоров. Спортсмены выступали ради своей страны.
@@user-ht7gk3yo5o не надо идеализировать, были солидные премии от федерации а после развала ссср фирма найк выплачивала ему до 100 килобаксов за каждый новы рекорд
Everybody may do the same - improve world record for 1 cm each times. Everybody may .,,, but he did it !
@@user-ht7gk3yo5o this jump on the video was not a wr and most of bubkas records were done when he was under Ukraine
I suppose pole vaulting is one of the toughest athletic events, and Bubka mastered it! A legend indeed!
32years ago Time passed so fast At that time I was still 57 years old.
💪😨
Just saw sergy buka yesterday's Tokyo 2020 Olympics on tv...legend ..still remember his performances in my childhood times..
Как он прыгал! Уровень - Бог!!! Меня до сих пор чувство гордости за него на части рвет!!!

Perhaps even the best Track and field athletic ever. Pole vaulting is by far the hardest event to master. Strength, speed and technique has to be perfect.
best field for sure. track there maybe a few others who could challenge. Also remember that field events are resources limited unlike track. e.g if you want to learn pole vault you need poles and a bed to cushion your fall.
Pole vault looks like so much fun! Great video!
One of the greatest sportsman ever.
I watched this at home live and it was and still is amazing ! ❤️
I was a kid, and I remember him very well! Incredible athlete!
И без всяких стероидов, и денег.Вышел, взял высоту и победил безплатно.Вот он, герой нашего времени.
The Soviets were on Oral Turinabol, just like the East Germans. It's documented on the East Germans, but the Soviets destroyed the evidence, before it could be found.
He has won several gold madal and each time he broke his own record.He was such a amazing person.
Greatest pole vaulter the world has seen till date. Respect to the legend.
He flies above the bar, it's incredible.
Sergey Bubka is a Legend, his name live for ever whenever we talk of Pole Vault event

For him, of course. For USSR, never.
He was a product of the USSR athletic program,Ukraine has done nothing in Pole Vault since.
@@aleksthegreat4130 Well.... He was from Ukrainian Soviet Republic... It would be incorrect to deny Ukraine.
He’s still the first name to come to my mind in pole vault and one of the first names in olympics. Childhood memories ;).
What an amazing leap! He's so strong 👌👏👏
I was in class third then. still remember that.

Спасибо, Сергей!
What an athlete, true legend . Will always cherish his performance
Loved his reaction at 1:30... just sheer joy, like a child ♥️ God bless you Sergey, what a tremendous athlete!!
Read my comment;)
None to replace him n his records. The ONE and ONLY Legendary Lord of the Pole Vault Sergy Bubka. The inspiration of another 1000 Years. Thank you Sir.
The pleasure of watching Sergei Buhka on the pole vault. I saw this very Olympics of 1988 in Seoul, I was 20 years old, and since then I have seen all Olympics, especially the Athletics events.

Там запасу еще сантиметров 10-15 было
Dmitry Baranovskiy Він їх нагнав з роками...
Он вроде 6 позже прыгал
6.14 он взял в 1994м. НО - там запасу не 10-15, а все 40-50 было, если не больше. Пересмотрите видео.
@@user-ij1oi7cw3u запас может быть хоть пять метров, факт то что запас и прыгнуть это не одно и тоже. Почему тогда он не прыгнул на 6'50?)
@@user-sb3uu7dh2p Потому что задел. Это как в прыжках в длину - заступ на 1 см, а улетел на 50см. дальше мирового рекорда. НО - заступил и, значит, не считается. Такое бывает, Ваня.
Красивее герба СССР особенно на спортивной форме не было на мой взгляд и звучало на много круче быть в сборной СССР не важно в каком виде 👍👍👍
Общался с ним, будучи добровольцем, в олимпийской деревне в Афинах в 2004. Тогда был вице-президентом всемирной федерации лёгкой атлетики. Величественный, достойный и в то же время без заносчивости в общении. Оправданно внушает уважение и как личность.
He is once in a lifetime athlete, my to do list before I die has an entry to meet this legend.
Я это помню!
He had another inch or 2 on top :) AWESOME
Je me souviens avoir suivi Sergey Bubka tout au long de son parcours d'athlète et m'être réjouie de ses succès et de son bonheur. Quel grand sportif! Bravo à lui et merci.
Incredible.....he was so far over the bar it was unbelievable!
don't forget that in 1994 he set the world record which still stands to this day
The Great Soviet athletes. They dominated the world sports.
Rightly observed, especially in gymnastics.
@@TheUnknown317 Flo Jo anyone? Carl Lewis or Gayle Divers?
@@TheUnknown317 Justin Gatlin
@@TheUnknown317 Yes he was banned for doping. He was banned in 2001 for 2 years for testing positive for amphetamines later reduced to 1 year after appealing. Again he was banned in 2006 for testing positive for testosterone for 4 years. A habitual cheat he should have been banned for life. He escaped and returned to the track just because he was from the US
A giant leap for mankind. So inspiring it stirs us to the core.
Brings back my childhood memories 😊
I have to admit, you guys use excellent music in these throwback videos. Simply excellent.
KZhead recommend me this vedio after 9 years. When Neeraj chopra won gold medal for India in javelin throw.....
Был школьником и практически не пропускал трансляций из Сеула,даже заставку помню трансляций помню-там удар в колокол был.....Сергей был одним из самых больших звёзд советского спорта и главный фаворит на победу,и,насколько помню,5 90(рутинную для него высоту),взял с третьей попытки,заставив всех болельщиков понервничать,если бы не травмы и пропуск ОИ-84 в Лос-Анджелесе,вполне мог быть 3-кратным ОЧ,зато у него 6 золотых медалей ЧМ(1983-97)в индивидуальной легкоатлетической дисциплине ни у кого столько нет.
Met him in Rio back in the 90's. I saw this guy wearing shorts and T shirt walking in my direction. He was ripped. Solid muscle. It was him. he gave me his autograph on his business card.
Восхищение и восторг!
That's an incredible guy in an incredible sport.
Met him in Rieti in 1995 , this guy was massive
The view from up there must be amazing.
ONE OF MY IDOLS IS SERGEY BUBKA. I WISHD IM FINNISH SERGEY BUBKA
He made so many world records in other matches. But this was his "only" Gold Medal in Olympic.
1:50 - Goosebumps guarantee... Stallion galloping...😍👌👏
Великий спортсмен!!!
1.83 он не великий!
Legendary man
If I remember correctly, that was the only jump Bubka ever cleared in an Olympic games.
Great Video! Whats the music playing in the background?
I was there at the main stadium, on the same side of the vault, when he was competing that day....he won the gold! Then, he called for the bar to be set at the height of 20 feet (of course, it was measured in meters, so just over 6-meters-something). We were excited to see that he was in fine form and going to be the first to break 20 feet! He went down to get ready at the end of the runway....then....just then, the Seoul Olympic medal ceremony was rolled out and -- believe it or not -- went right across the runway for the Bubka's vault. Can you believe? (if i am not mistaken it was the ceremony for men's long jump...) Needless to say, he was not happy as it obviously broke his concentration and he strode down and put his pole in the tube and didn't go for the "20 feet." Gosh, we were pumped when he called for the "20 feet." If only a track administrator had said ..... "Hey, wait folks, let this last vaulter GO! Then, roll out the carpet and bring the podium and medals."
Ah, too bad he was distracted and stopped. He cleared the 5.90 m (19'4"") jump by at least 6 inches. I stopped pole vaulting at 16 years old (1979), at a height of 4.65 meters (15'3"). I broke my arm when I landed next to the pole vault mats. Six months prior to that I shattered a fiber glass pole to pieces during competition. In each case I was distracted by curious people coming too close while I was vaulting. It's too dangerous for a vaulter to be distracted, and there should be a fenced barrier to prevent accidents.
Trivias like this...are a gold of stories. Thanks @David waters
Virtually the same thing happened the year before in the World Championships in Rome. After he had won, the bar was set at a world record height, and just as he started his run-up the PA system blared away with the intro music for a victory ceremony. He aborted his attempt, and after the victory ceremony made one weak failed attempt and then called it a night. Needless to say, the crowd was ripped at the meet organizers.

I remember Sergei...
What a great athlete!
Bubka is a super-athlete, the pinnacle of all world sport in history, a product of Soviet training for athletes. The whole sport reached the limit of human capabilities precisely at the end of the 80s, and then technologies began to dominate: Bubka's pole was metal, for example, while modern jumpers have a composite one, etc. Maradona was the pinnacle of football. In hockey, the Canada Cup-87 was a milestone
ONE OF MY IDOLS I WISHD IM FINNISH SERGEI BUBKA
Господь дал талант !!!! Молодец!!!!
i like this video of him cus he gets so damn excited about it (:
Bubka the great. People were starting to know pole vault because of him.
Yes. It has never been broken since 1994. A milestone ;)
