Men's High jump through the years!

I feel like they should have 2 events 1 where you have to land on feet like early athletes did the other what it currently is.

Fosbury with his "Fosbury flop" revolutionized high jump once for all, great technique.

Nice, but where’s Valerie Brumel and John Thomas?

...no Brumel lol and zero John Thomas, king of the Western Roll

You did not put Juri Tarmac who won the gold in Munich 1972, the last using straddle

Idk what's more impressive.... The fact they could scissor over +2m or the fact they did this without a bag to catch them 😂

I think the Fosbury method should be banned. In life, in war, in danger, whenever you have to make a jump, chances are you won't have a mattress. The Kenyans continue the tradition. It's time that the world goes back and follow that tradition, which was forgotten since 1968.

I had to pause at 0.43. His smile at his achievement sent tingles down my spine

Shame you didn't show Andrey Silnov's 2.36m jump from 2008 - probably because he's Russian. He cleared it by miles and it was epic!

Fosbury's contribution clearly seen, all jumpers exactly like him after 🙌💯

Where are the girls?

Fosbury RIP

rip fosbury. changed the sport forever.

Sotomayor is a gazelle.

Exhilarating to watch!

This is a great video. I have learned a lot just by watching it once.

The Fosbury Flop only became viable when they started using crash mats instead of sawdust

JRE!

The Fosbury flop is the first not onto sand, which came first I would imagine going backwards onto sand would cause injury

Imagine your kid doing this from age 4 or so....😵‍💫

Best thing to happen to the sport was padding the landing area.

What a beautiful graceful sport.

You forgot Valeriy Brumel entirely. He had a very unique style and broke few records.

Where is bejing 2008

Standing on my toes I can barely reach 2,38m bar with my finger tips ...

Trabalho de EF 👀👍

Such a beautiful sport

so no high jump world record has ever been broken at the olympics

How about Ron Jourdan (pre-Fosbury)?

How did Charlie Dumas not break his wrists?????

This is a priceless video.

Name of the background music

Run....YEET

Wow! Derek Drouin's run-up was very cool and stylish.

Tokyo: When 5 words changed everything.

It's all fun n games until someone does a 2.50m Scissor. ✂️✂️✂️

Looks like the technique changes along with the equipment changing. They had to land on their feet when they were just on grass. Sand pit comes in and now they don't necessarily need to land perfectly on their feet, so they can go more horizontal/higher and land with a fall. Then with the inclusion of full on padded mats, fosbury decides he might as well land on his back since it'll be a cushy landing anyway.

I'd like to know what the record is without the fosbury flop.

Music?

What a very poor short documentary on the high jump sport. The Cuban Sotomayor is the world record holder at 2.46m, and you decided not to include that jump in this video, why?..
You think many of us with a sound knowledge of this sport don't know that?..shameful video

Beijing 2008?

Amazing compilation. ❤️

No mattress What the fish

Fosbury really changed the game
