those are both sick to watch... i've never seen either of them. its incredible in that 6.14 jump that it appears that he jumps right over what must have been a 5.10-5.15m grip. Small bend jump with a 5.10m grip... sheesh. and not to mention a 6.14 jump on a blow-through... pretty sick.

At the beginning of this clip you can see 20 years young and "skinny' Bubka jumping 5.70 for his first World Championship gold in Helsinki 1983. It will be interesting to compare this jump with 6.11, 6.14 and 6.15 jumps. In Helsinki, all technical elements are already here. You can see not-so-fast Bubka, very powerful and fast swing, great inversion and pole covering.
