Monument to Sergei Bubka in Donetsk, Bronze athletic monument on Artiom Street, Donetsk, Ukraine.
The Monument to Sergei Bubka in Donetsk displays a bronze statue capturing the athlete in his iconic pole vaulting position, frozen just before the moment of propulsion. It stands on Artiom Street in an open plaza, showing the body in its peak athletic movement.
This monument was installed in 1999 to commemorate Bubka's place in sports history. He became the first pole vaulter to surpass 6 meters and held the world record multiple times throughout his career.
The monument reflects how the city honors its sports heroes and celebrates athletic achievement as part of local pride. Passersby encounter a public artwork that turns a street intersection into a place of recognition for personal excellence.
The statue sits directly on Artiom Street and is easily accessible by public transportation. The open plaza remains accessible year-round, allowing visitors to stop by at any time.
This location was where Bubka trained in his early years before rising to international fame. The monument thus honors not just the athlete, but also the place that helped shape his path to becoming a champion.
