The men's pole vault at the World Athletics Championships in 1993 was held on August 17 and 19, 1993 in the Gottlieb Daimler Stadium in Stuttgart .
In this competition the bronze medal was awarded twice, in both cases to pole vaulters from Russia . It was won by the Olympic champion in 1988 , European champion in 1986 and world record holder Serhij Bubka from Ukraine , who was world champion for the fourth time in a row and thus had won all previous World Cup pole vault competitions. Until 1991 he started for the Soviet Union . Second place went to the Olympic third party from 1988 and Vice European Champion from 1990, Grigori Jegorow from Kazakhstan . Like Bubka, he was a citizen of the Soviet Union until 1991. The two bronze medals went to the 1992 Olympic champion Maxim Tarasov and the 1992 Olympic third-party Igor Trandenkow . During their successes in the previous year with the beginning of the decline of the Soviet Union, both were at the start for the so-called United Team .

qualification
August 17, 1993, 4:40 pm
45 participants competed in two groups for the qualifying round. The qualification height for the direct entry into the final was 5.75 m. Three athletes exceeded this mark (highlighted in light blue). The final field was filled with the next placed athletes to the minimum number of twelve finalists. However, some of them were able to forego their attempts over 5.75 m from the start after it was clear that their eligibility to participate in the final was already secured. Since there were four equally ranked jumpers in tenth place, ten athletes qualified via their placement (light green background) and thus a total of thirteen participants for the final that takes place on the day after next.
