He will be in good company in the final: Oleksandr Bubka (Ukraine), younger son of the World record holder Sergey, will be among his opponents. But no fewer than five competitors no-heighted, so slippery were the conditions.

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
So is he really Bubka's son, or a more distant relation?
Another Bubka?

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....
