Gibilisco is coached by Ukrainian guru of the event Vitaly Petrov, the early coach and mentor to six-times world champion and 1988 Olympic champion SergeyBubka.
There is further potential for confusion because the IAAF ruling applies only from 2000, meaning that the highest ever pole vault of 6.15m by SergeyBubka indoors in 1993 counts just as a world indoor record.
