}}{{AthleticsAt1988SummerOlympics}}The men's pole vault at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea had an entry list of 21 competitors, with two qualifying groups (21 jumpers) before the final (15) took place on Wednesday September 28, 1988.[1] Three Soviet, French and American athletes made the final, but it was the Soviet bloc that dominated the event, sweeping the medals, with Sergey Bubka already the dominant vaulter. His world record 6.06 set two months earlier, has only been cleared by two other men, 2008 gold medalist Steven Hooker and 2012 gold medalist Renaud Lavillenie, since. But while Bubka would vault in 3 more Olympics and would continue to dominate the World Championships with ultimately 6 consecutive wins, this would be the only Olympic medal he would achieve.
