I think Bubka's fame goes beyond pole vaulting or light athletics in general. He was more of a figure, certainly explored by the Soviets for propaganda reasons, but the fact remains that he was one helluva of a sportsman. The 6-metre mark was something of the moon landing.

I'll post a new thread very soon, busy weekend.

So, Szpoti should make the new thread for number 70, right? Or does our winner prefer to guess again instead?

 Who?

A pole vaulter?

Surely that's very obscure... but also WOW Szpoti well done!!
Definitely not obscure
You're a fan of pole vaulting, I assume?
Not particularly but as a Track and Field Olympian Bubka is in the same league as Carl Lewis, Jesse Owens and that Finnish bloke.

 Is the sport of this sportsman played with ball(s)?
No
Objection, you can't play with your pole without effecting the balls!

But joke aside, what a guess, well done!

Next game should be #70 by the way.

Well, not just any pole vaulter. He was world champion 6 times in a row, the first 3 representing the Sovjet Union, the last 3 representing Ukraine. He broke the world record outdoor 17 times and indoor 18 times. First man over 6 meters.
He is the pole vaulter all others are measured by.

 Free guess: Sergey Bubka?
This is just plain creepy. How the hell did you guess Bubka out of nowhere?
Correct!

And if the guess is wrong, it's a team or individual sport?

 Is he famous for entertainment in some capacity?
I can't remember our definition of entertainment. Can you remind me?
Let's say involved in any Arts or Sports.
Then the answer is Yes!
