How many attempts at Bubka's WR?

[DrJay]

In his interview with Tim Mack in this month's TAFNEWS, Steve Bailey points out that Mack's attempt at 20-2 1/2 (6.16) at Monaco "...was one of only a handful of attempts ever at Bubka's World Record." Any stat nut out there know how many such attempts have been made, and by how many different vaulters? And how many attempts have been made at Soto's 12 year-old HJ record?

I made one attempt over the weekend. I was way short (that bad hammy thing again).

Somehow I don't think the IAAF recognized that one.

As far as his indoor record, Darrin Plab attempted 8 feet at indoor nationals in ~91? I dont remember exactly right now, but he won the meet at 2.35.

by the way, whatever happened to Plab? He seemed to completely disappear after '92.

He was in an accident playing basketball and suffered a pretty serious head injury I believe. When he came back he wasnt the same.
