Pole vault legend Sergey Bubka was the first to achieve the feat, topping 6.00m exactly on 13 July 1985. Then on 22 January 1989 – 32 years ago today – an unofficial ‘club’ of six-metre vaulters was formed when Rodion Gataullin became the second person to scale the height. The club now boasts 24 members, including seven of the past eight Olympic champions in the event. Between them, the group has won 13 world titles outdoors and 14 indoors. The barrier has been scaled at the sport’s three biggest senior global events: the Olympic Games, the World Athletics Championships and the World Athletics Indoor Championships.
