Is Psy = Sergei Bubka

Post by Sprocket »

The way Psy dominates Apple Harvest reminds me of Sergei Bubka's days of pole-vaulting. I think after Bubka retired from pole-vaulting he moved to Finland and is now playing under the "Psy" pseudonym. :lol:

If you don't know who Sergei Bubka is:
Besides his six consecutive world titles he was Olympic champion in 1988 and set 35 world records. He has the 23 highest vaults, his records standing at 6.15 metres indoors (20ft 2in) and 6.14m outdoors. The next best is Maksim Tarasov's 6.05m. Bubka is such a hero in Donetsk that a statue has been erected in his honour.
Or read about him here:

Bubka rules (or ruled), but I don't think he's psy. But psy's AH hoyling surely reminds of him!

Actually there is quite a big possibility that we talk about the same person. psy's old nick was anthropod ...after some researching I noticed that anthro mean vault and pod=pole. So this was a "secret" nick Bubka/psy wanted us to notice after some time of playing. But soon he realised he can be really good player and didn't want any old history to disturb the höyling so he changed nick etc. True story ok, I've met him!

edit: seems like he confessed himself

yea well, bubka always set the limit only 1cm higher than wr, in psy's case its almost the same, he always sends in the next best time......he could höyl better time without sending in all the time, but nothing wrong there, I think I would do the same, just a little by little

oooh bubka was goood... 6,15 meter, right ?
but, let's say, the chances bubka is playing elma are same as the chances that Jesus is Balazs.

now, if you're not drunk atm, both are impossible.
