Overview by IAAF   sevilla1 
For the first time the world pole vault champion would be someone other than Sergey Bubka, out with an Achilles tendon injury. His heir apparent had long been Tarasov, the 1992 Olympic Champion and a medallist behind Bubka at the last four World Championships, and he grasped the opportunity. The Russian cleared 5.70 and 5.90 first time, 5.96 at the third and 6.02 – adding a centimetre to Bubka’s championship record – at the first try. He had to wait until Markov, who passed 5.96, used up his trials at 6.02 (one) and 6.07 (two) before victory was confirmed. “I hope that now, when people talk about pole vault, they will not talk only about Bubka, but also a bit about me,” he said. As bigger names floundered, Siberian-born Averbukh (an 8084 decathlete in 1997) surprisingly took bronze for Israel’s first ever medal as he was the only man to clear 5.80. Thus, the first three places all went to ex-Soviet athletes.
 These are the official results of the Men's Pole Vault event at the 1999 IAAF World Championships in Athletics in Seville, Spain. There were a total number of 34 participating athletes, with two qualifying groups and the final held on Thursday 26 August 1999 at 19:10h.

Men Pole Vault Final

Russia's Maksim Tarasov carried out his condition of favourite and won with 6,02, a new Championships' record. He is the first man to take this event after the six consecutive victories of the world record holder, Sergey Bubka, absent in Seville due to an injury. Tarasov, silver medallist in the last two editions of the IAAF World Championships, made a clean series until 5.90m and then cleared 5.96m at his third attempt. He then made a splendid jump over 6.02m at his first attempt, bettering by just one centimetre Sergey Bubka's championships record established in Athens '97. Australia's Dmitry Markov won the silver clearing 5.90m at his first attempt, while bronze medal wnet to the surprising Aleksandr Averbukh (ISR) who set a new national record of 5.80m. Tim Lobinger (GER), who had already jumped over 6 metres this year, had to resign on 5.70m. The Olympic champion Jean Galfione (FRA) made no jumps in 5,70, his first height.

Men Pole vault qualification

The qualifying mark was 5.75, but it was not necessary to reach that height to find out the identity of the thirteen finalists. The most remarkable thing in group B was the elimination of American Jeff Hartwig,who was only able to clear 5.55, even though he was second in the season's list with 6.02. Only three athletes in group B vaulted over 5.70. Six men cleared this height in group A. Reigning European champion and former Olympic champion Russian Maksim Tarasov made just one jump, at 5.70, throughout the qualification. The only favourite in trouble was Commonwealth record holder South African Okkert Brits who had to settle with 5.65. The final will take place on Thursday.
