>> if the event is won, you increase the world record by the smallest amount possible.
See, that was in fact not necessarily what Bubka did. I've seen him win events where there was no big price for beating the WR, thus he didn't attempt it.
I think you misunderstand me, I'm not saying he's less of an athlete or anything, for being greedy with this. I'm just sad that his career didn't leave the mark of a WR to show what he was truly capable of :-)
BTW: I've also seen competitions where people would go for the minimum WR increment, then if they succeeded they would bump it an increment more and have a go!
