Btw only the last four of his outdoors records and two last indoors records were made under the Ukrainian flag. Interestingly, he also was a part of unified exUSSR team on 1992 Olympics, competing under get Olympics flag, and somehow didn't even win. Also, his last record set in 1994 stood for mighty 20 years and was finally broken on 15 Feb 2014, in Donetsk, of all places. ... ... I don't think we'll see international pole vaulting events in Donetsk in the next 20 years.
