  • Bubka meet in Donetsk

    Does anyone know the exact dates of Bubka's pole vault meet this year? Usually is mid-February or thereabouts.

      Feb. 12, and it's a blast. Well, except for the travel from San Francisco. I attended in 2005. Check out Bob Ramsack's trackprofile.com page for pics

              well, don't feel too badly, because this site

              http://www.gbrathletics.com/ia2006.htm

              has it wrong too, and it's usually very reliable and up-to-date.

                The European AA calendar has it right, but only if you do the online database

                http://www.european-athletics.org/calen ... esult5.php

                If you download the PDF, it's still October version w/ the later date.

                  I can tell you that it was quite a battle to change the date. Sergey had another commitment on new date. But, it helps the female vaulters to have both competitions.

                    If in Ukraine (take a trip there after this year:s indoor WCs), stop by Star Planet, Bubka:s restaurant. My neighbor is from Donetsk and stated to me that Bubka is as much a hit and star today as he was when he was setting WRs and at his top.

                      Know Donetsk is a big city. Any recommendations on where to stay? I assume the pole vaulters get whatever constitutes the Ritz there.

                        Rent a flat outside of downtown.

                          Atlas is Donetsk newest hotel. It' modern and nice with a restaurant. If you want Ritz equivalent, check out the Donbass Palace Hotel.
