BUBKA FIRST TO POLE VAULT 20 FEET

Sergei Bubka of the Soviet Union became the first pole vaulter in history to clear 20 feet, reaching that record height at an international track and field meet in San Sebastian, Spain. Bubka, whose previous world mark was 19-11 1/4, cleared the bar cleanly on his first attempt.

Also at the meet, Carl Lewis finished third in a 60-meter dash, his first indoor appearance since 1989.
