The famous name in the field, Oleksandr Bubka (Ukraine) cleared 5.00m but failed at 5.20m and finished seventh.




Tilastopaja lists him as having a personal and season best of 5.20 and a birthdate of 9/9/86

according to this article, bubka has two sons, Sergei Jr and Vitaly

Maybe he's Sergei's nephew? His brother Vasily was a 19 footer, but I can't find any mention of him having kids anywhere, although its not much of a stretch to imagine it....

Heard that it was indead his nephew...
