ATHLETISSIMA MEMORIES | In 1988, Sergeï Bubka took aim at 5,70m, and easily clears 5,85m !

However, the wind, the cool evening air and a power failure will get the better of his ambition. After waiting 6 minutes in front of a bar at 6.06m hoping for less turbulence, he decides not to set off. The master of the track does not want to take any risk with a hundred days to go until the Seoul Games where he will go on to win his only Olympic title in a whirlwind career, accumulating titles, world records and exceptional performances!
