Discover the incredible story of Sergey Bubka, the Ukrainian pole vaulter who not only dominated his sport but also created his own infinite money glitch. Sergey Bubka was so exceptional in pole vaulting that he rendered the competition uncompetitive. His unparalleled prowess led sponsors to stop offering win bonuses because no one could challenge his supremacy.

However, Nike came up with a groundbreaking idea. With no competitors left, they decided to pay Sergey Bubka for competing against himself. The arrangement was simple: every time Bubka set a new world record, Nike would reward him up to $100,000. Initially, Nike anticipated paying him just a few times, but Sergey had a different plan.

Instead of going all out and setting the highest possible records, Sergey Bubka cleverly held himself back. By breaking his own world records by the smallest margins, he ensured that he could set new records repeatedly. This strategic approach allowed him to maximize his earnings, effectively creating an infinite money glitch. Sergey went on to set a new world record 35 times, earning substantial rewards each time.

While this strategy worked wonders for his bank account, many fans believe that Sergey Bubka never reached his full potential. By not pushing himself to his limits, they feel he missed the opportunity to achieve even greater heights during his prime.

Watch the fascinating video to learn more about Sergey Bubka's ingenious strategy and witness how he turned pole vaulting into a lucrative endeavor.
