    • @AndyZach
      @AndyZach Год назад +5

      If I recall correctly, the first high jump gold winners in 1900 or so were about 6 6. They used a hurtling technique like these young men. The next technique was rolling over the bar. That got up to 7 5 with the Russian jumpers able to touch a basketball rim with their foot. That was about 1973. Then came the Fosbury flop.
      It's all getting your center of gravity as high as you can and passing your body over the bar at that point.

Well, sat sometimes anyway, would jump so high from a standing position. Come to find out he was from the Maasai tribe. The tribe who we usually see walking their cattle wearing the red robes and wearing all the earrings, bracelets.

That is wicked and never appropriate to do but let's look at my original post, shall we? #1 I questioned another as to the height they were prideful about. #2 It is clear that the bar was nowhere near Olympic standards "8 feet+". #3 I asked a question as to the bar height in the video(No one answered as far as I can tell as of yet). #4 My final point was that high school high jumpers can make a height of 6 feet easily(the record is 7' or so)?

    The height that they jumped was impressive but what impressed me the most was that they land on 2 feet afterwards 👏👏👏 They more poor in money but rich in Genetics

      Isaiah Campbell no dipshit they literally have genetics to jump. This has been known forever. Black men are literally born to jump high. They have longer heel bones.
