Sachin Tendulkar's 24 years in cricket: 5 sports personalities who achieved similar greatness

Sergey Bubka

It is very rare for an athlete to dominate track and field events, especially something like pole vault. The margin for error is very minute, with even a slight deviation meaning failure. The technique needs to be perfect, and one needs to have confidence in one’s own ability when increasing the height.

Sergey Bubka did all that and more. In fact, he dominated the field so much that he broke the world record a total of 35 times in his 20 year career. That just shows you how completely he was on top of his game! Add to this the fact that he won 6 IAAF championships on the trot as well as the gold medal at the Seoul Olympics in 1988. We may never see another pole-vaulter achieve this kind of greatness ever again!
