- Laureus World Sportsman of the Year Nominee Armand Duplantis and pole vault legend Sergey Bubka caught up on a zoom chat to discuss Duplantis nomination.
In the discussion, they talked about Bubka’s glittering past and Duplantis’ hopes for the future.
Duplantis took a massive step forward to confirm himself as the No.1 pole vaulter in the world in 2020 when he broke Renaud Lavillenie's six-year-old world record with a jump of 6.17 metres in Poland and increased it a week later in Glasgow to 6.18m. When athletics returned, in the Rome Golden Gala Pietro Mennea Diamond League event, he broke Bubka’s highest outdoor vault in history with 6.15m.
Bubka, who dominated the sport for almost two decades and is the only athlete in history to have won six successive world titles, broke the world record 35 times in his career. He told Duplantis: “This is great what you did, and I believe for the future it is also possible to jump higher. I understand that the Olympic Games is a very important event for you and, of course, I wish you good luck in the Olympics, because this is something unique. There is nothing to compare with the Olympic Games.”

The two greatest pole vaulters of all time. And now he's at 6,25 and he hasn't finished yet.
I was looking for Serhyi's reaction on the record. Both show humility, sportsmanship, bromanship. And now, Armand achieves his goal by pulverizing the record. 👏
Real Legend Sergey Bubka ❤❤❤❤❤
