Details: Strohaliev, 12, competed in the Ukrainian Youth Championships, clearing 4.00 metres. The result earned him a bronze medal and saw him surpass the mark set by Duplantis, who cleared 3.97 metres indoors in 2012 – the best result ever recorded for an athlete of that age.

Strohaliev already holds several unofficial records in the age categories from seven to eleven.
