Thanks Rojo! Beat me to it. This is the stadium for Worlds in a few days, by the way - this meeting is a rehearsal and warmup for all the systems and officials...
Looks like a French Charlie Chaplin
Out here vaulting peoples long jump PR
That's 20'3.75" You're welcome.

Where does he go from here, at age 22!
Bubka broke the world record for men's pole vault 35 times during his career
How many people do the pole vault worldwide? 1,000? So he is the best of a 1000? Whoopedee doo!
Fun fact, Bubka's first WR was 5.81m
He is better than every person who has ever done the event, technically a lot more than 1000. Sorry to further deflate your insult.
That was a long time coming! What a guy

I would think 6.25m/20'6" is practically guaranteed to happen.
Beyond that is another story. Not sure its possible for a human to go any higher.
Mondo is in "9.58 100 meter" territory.
Exceeds his outdoor WR by a centimeter..
Much discussion on this site regarding shoes and running performances. No discussion on evolution of pole technology for pole vaulters? No one would dare say that pole vaulters benefited from improvements in pole technology less than sprinters and runners have benefited from shoe technological improvements over the past 130 or so years.
Is there really anyone saying moving off bamboo wasn't an advantage? I think you're trying to create a strawman. Pun intended.
Real story of the night was Belgrade's trigger-happy starter.
Theat was the most DQs I've ever seen across a meet, and most were iffy at best, Marcell Jacobs included.

Technology in fiberglass poles over the past 60 years has also improved. Technology in fiberglass poles has improved over the past ten years. Did you read my post? I stated technology in poles has improved more than technology in shoes. Do you have something to add to what I stated?
