Renaud Lavillenie from France breaks 20 year old pole vault world record
It's not every day you get to see someone break a world record that has stood for 20 year.
At an athletics meeting in Donetsk, Ukraine, the Frech pole vaulter and Olympic champion Renaud Lavillenie cleared a height of 6.16 metres. The previous record of 6.14 metres was held by Sergey Bubka back in 1993.
Lavillenie cleared the height on his first attempt.
