Matvii Strohaliev, a 12-year-old from Ukraine, reached the world's best U14 pole vault mark 🌍
At the Ukrainian U14 Athletics Championships in Lviv, Matvii cleared an astonishing 4.00 metres — the highest result in the world for his age group!
While world records aren't officially tracked for the U14 category, Matvii's jump surpasses Armand 'Mondo' Duplantis's previous best of 3.97 m (set indoors in 2012).
Pole vaulting runs in the family: his mum is a European champion, his dad a world finalist, and his brother also competes. And now Matvii is making history of his own.
👏 Congratulations, Matvii! Ukraine is so proud! 🇺🇦
