      Conor Forde yeah so??? Doesn’t mean he did. She is also Russian so it would have been her national sports program which made her dope.

    2:19 Steve: Oh look at me, mates! I'm a pole vaulter AND a bodybuilder! LOL, just the way he flexed his arms.

    i actually never thought of it that way, you comment really made me laugh out loud, but if anything high jump is exactly like backwards limbo

    Bubka cleared 6 meters about 40 times actually. This is backed by the commentator at the 1997 World Championships near the end of his career claiming that Bubka has cleared 6m "some 35 times" and also a conversation I had with Jeff Hartwig myself.

    Why does Steven Hooker remind me of Thor?

  • @jfp521
    @jfp521 12 лет назад

    the world record is 6.15 indoors and 6.14 out doors, bubka had the olympic record in 88 at 5.90, that was broken in 96 at 5.92, that was broken in 04 by tim mack of the us at 5.95 and hooker breakes it here at 5.96

    I'm guessing it is some medieval thing they used to jump over castle walls or something?

    If Steve Hooker had missed the landing pads at 1:02 and landed on the ground, that would've hurt!

    @thehensbeard not really possible unless you are trying really hard to miss it.

  • @oneputtsteven
    @oneputtsteven 12 лет назад

    Incredibly he still owns the world record of 6.14 meters but not the Olympic record. Bubka has 13, count 'em 13 leaps over 6 meters!

    • @serhyocristiano7
      @serhyocristiano7 10 лет назад +7

      Stop saying stupid things, it's probably one of the hardest sports in human history.

    • @serhyocristiano7
      @serhyocristiano7 10 лет назад +2

      Because it seems like you're kind of making fun of this sport

      ***** Just a friendly joke dude... What's wrong with that?

    • @serhyocristiano7
      @serhyocristiano7 10 лет назад +2

      Some people could take that worse than just a joke, i mean, you probably didn't mean it, but for vaulters like me, it may seem a little harmful.

    so the aussie ginger can jam a stick in the ground and go higher than all the others jamming their sticks in the ground.
