Never followed high jump, never watched your channel, and yet here I am glued to the screen like high jump is my lifes passion.
Fantastic content.
Same. Never watched high jump EVER, mens womens or anything. But this video is fantastic.
same brother
Best thing about Bondarenko is the fact he still acts positive even after failing.
@@1-Wheel-Drive This is more about mental state then high jump itself...
Anyone can be positive after failing, just keep on failing. Winning is the only way to be truly positive.
@@johnmcdermott2551lmao I bet you thought this comment was so cool
Whats your world record? You dont have one? Never won anything
@@kenw2225 bruh what?
I love that Bondarenko seems to be competing only with himself. His rival is the bar, not any other competitor
So is Barshim ... coz at this stage, all theyre BOTH tryna do is break the world record.
@@mteokay1246 I think Barshim was driven to the record by Bondarenko. To the point that both only focused on that. I hate the fact that the record holder is a roider
Its 10 yrs after this competition and Javier is still the King. Incredible.
Such great content. Love the pacing and music you bring to the videos. Keep it up. You deserve 100k subs.
Thank you big man!
lol don't just take summoning salts music
as long as he doesnt jump on the over hype train like your channel does, he'll do well.
@@timn4481well it seems like that style has worked really well for trp hasnt it
I love that you went for the Summoning Salt music for that extra added tension 😉
Love summoning salt
my toxic trait is believing I could get anywhere close to this height as a 5'2 14 year old girl
This is absolute banger of a factual documentary video. High jump is awesome discipline and it somehow draws in so many interesting individuals, all different, most of them charismatic and of course everyone has great story to success behind to tell (yeah, Tamberi too). 😅 Thanks and enjoy jumping guys!

High Jump _was_ my favorite back in the day, and I *_so_* agree!
The Summoning Salt influence is strong with this video, and it's not a bad thing :) Keep it up!
I don't know much about high jump, but still found myself watching and enjoying the entire video! Good job 😊
I remember this rivalry well and I thought for sure Barshim would get the WR at some point due to his ridiculous clearances in the lower 2.40s. I'm still amazed it never happened.
16:35 Omg I think I've somehow actually missed this jump. Holy shit didn't know he was that close to beating the record
I love youtubers that can bring me into topics i more or less wouldnt be interesting in otherwise. Amazing video
Hype video I remember the 2014 battle in New York, it was really the chance to get the WR. I remember watching a french stream and the commentator going absolutely nuts. Such a great competition.
I do like that the WR was made so long ago and has held. Just makes it special when you can't beat it even with modern training knowledge.
Or with 🦘 spikes 😄
There are a few old records that will be hard to beat due to the improved drug testing. It isn't as easy to get past the various anti doping agencies as it was back then.
Lol. No not true. Chemists will always be ahead of testing regulators. Similar to narcotics , they just keeping newer analogs with similar chemical structures. But for peds, I wouldnt be surprised if theres a few secrets out there still only a handful of people know about. And i bet theres multiple different secrets across the world
10:45 And then, Barshim got this run
Elite reference
Is a smummimimg slta refrecencr
nice ref
Props to the people who know the reference (me included)
@@josephpeng6984Summoning Salt?
i did not know Bohdarenko had so many attempts at 246. Great video!
Absolutely loved the video ! Congrats !
(the influence of summoning salt and wirtual music choices on the "documenting historic feats"-youtube space is crazy ahah)
Bondarenko is a god of consistency and confidence, but only a few minutes in, and I knew the closest attempt would be from Barshim. His form is teetering on the knife's edge of what is possible and leaves no wasted space at any part of his pass over the bar. Unbelievable to see.
he uses the same overarching technique to then spring the legs up that Sotomayor used in his prime. If just these two giants had competed vs each other in their primes, I guess the current WR would have been 1-2 cm higher.
His launch is breathtaking. Looks like actual springs
La altura de 2,40 metros ha sido la barrera para distinguir a los mejores saltadores de la historia. Una barrera que actualmente han superado 5 atletas que compiten habitualmente y presentan el desafio al récord del mundo.
Hasta un total de 17 veces fue superada esa barrera al aire libre por Sotomayor mientras que otros saltadores como Bondarenko o Barshim la han superado ya en 6 ocasiones o más elevando sus respectivos récords a 2,42 y 2,43 mts.
finding wirtual music in a video about high jumping is something i did not see coming haha. great job on the video!
yh thats crazy
**summoningsalt
I remember winning the high jump in 6th grade back in 1977. The Fosbury flop was still kinda new . We were all doing it. Lots of fun
10:48 sir that aint trackmania
First comment. Wirtual the goat haha
@@JumpmanTF But then.. Barshim got this jump
Great video
@@JumpmanTF I knew the music seemed so familiar hahaha
2014 really was a special time in high jump. We had never seen anything like it, it was magical. This is the first time I've ever watched high jump at all, but man, i feel like an expert now.
One of the best edited and well presented Sporting videos ever!
Excellent video man, I don't watch track and field too often, but this story had me on edge the entire time.
Same
I can see some inspirations from speedrun history videos and love it. Fantastic watch
You made a very captivating documentary. Thoroughly enjoyed!
Nice vid. Really goes to show how much your competitors drive can influence yours too.
Thanks, I used to be a jumper at school and uni, enjoyed this!
Great video - played out like a real life drama which it is as well as acknowledging the athleticism of these great jumpers. Cheers!
Absolutely fantastic documentary. Such a nice bloke aswell!!
This is really a great well crafted video!
They are getting psyched out at 246. Barshim cleared way over that in several of his jumps at 240.
Amazing video !! Intersting and I love high jump, I learned a lot of the history in the discipline here !
returning to high jump this year and this give me motivation
Thanks for the wonderful review
As someone following this record for over 15 years and watched these events live back in 2014. This video perfectly does it justice!
Banger Video and awesome choice of music throughout the video 🤝❤️
High jump does have that special camaraderie that is slightly different to other events. Essentially it’s everyone (still in the competition ) versus gravity. And when you’re at those heights everyone in the stadium knows what they’re to achieve,
Thanks for the great job!)
Great video! Thanks for this awesome content @jumpman and not giving in to the RUclips pressures, cough cough trp, to creating clickbait stuff.
What a fantastic video 👏As you said in the video, this golden era of high jump is heavily underrated. Some of the best athletics competitions were seen during that era. What a shame we won't see anything like this again in a long time
Your video making skills as so amazing, I really hope you get more attention!
Thanks brother :)
Great content, well done!
I started high jumping in 2015 at 12yo after watching that marvelous season, then i jumped 6ft 2' in high school and suffered an injury similar to barshim in 2019 and had to stop jumping, now i do middle distance. All this years just passed so fast, i miss all of that, both jumping and watching world class competitions 😭
Masterfully made documentary content. Bravo
in a sport with such shit media coverage, channels like yours give me hope. thank you for taking the time to make all these vids, easily among the best I've seen in the track&field world
Fantastic video. I have no interest really in high jumps at all and I watched the entire video in a sitting! Well done!
Diamond League and High Jump competitions were such a joy to watch during Ukhov's, Bondarenko's & Barshim's prime era when they all were competing against each at their best form. Nothing was more interesting than following Bolt and the high level of High Jump competitions in athletics during those years
What an absolutely amazing story
Well done team
Super content and well told. Would love to see a Jonathan Edwards one.
Mr Jumpman! You have forgotten Patrik Sjöberg and his world record in 1987 which was 2.42 m!
This makes me appreciate Sotomayor even more that he did 2.40 effortlessly repeatedly
This was an absolutely awesome retrospective on the greatest era ever.
cheers boss
Sotomayor with a modern pair of shoes probably jumps 2.50m+
" and then, Bondarenko had this run...." I like that you also use the background music I came to love through virtual TM. Great Video, editing and narrorating. Now i feel like i need to get into the high jump competition
Great video. Competed in athletics in highschool myself, was a thrower so definitely a different physiologic battle versus the absolute of the height the bar is set at. Also very charming to see your comments of references to wirtual. Since I stopped competing in athletics I have been invested in the trackmania world and it’s a different arena of competing for greatness but so many of the aspects carry over so well. Would love to see videos on my personal favorite competitions of javelin and hammer throw.
Trackmania, track and field, same thing!
Reviewing the video, I think that Sotomayor's record is not easy to break and for a simple reason: if you carefully watch the jump, he touches the bar with the back of his body and bends the bar by at least 2 or 3 centimeters; fortunately for him the bar remains balanced and does not fall, setting the record of 2.46 meters but in reality he jumped around 2.42 - 2.43. This is my point of view.
😄😂🤣
Well, your point of view are flawed. It's 2.46m and he did indeed jump it... Period. This ain't some Bodmas 😂😂😂
We’ve been waiting so long for your opinion! Thank you for settling this!
We reverted back to 243 it’s official, guys.
I immensely enjoyed this even though high jump is not exactly my cup of tea. Will watch out for more of your videos.
GREAT DOCUMENTARY.
11:55 Summoning Salt vibes
I marvel at how many people overshadow the sporting careers of others just because they are from one country or another. Barshim, for me, is the 2nd best high jumper in the world, but we have to recognize that he has the opportunity to jump in an era of social networks that It gives him more fame and popularity but nothing to do with comparison if Javier Sotomayor, the best in the world without a doubt, had jumped in the same era of social networks as barshim, just so they can make a comparison Javier Sotomayor jumped more than 20 times above 2.40 and without counting in 2.43,2.44 and the current record 2.45.
Excellent presentation.
Awesome video ❤
Such a great video!😮
What’s even more wild, Robert Wadlow stood 2.72m tall. Man was almost 30cm taller then the bar 💀
best jumpman video 😭 he dont miss
Incredible video man, holy shit. Never in my life watched high jumping 😂
Glad its reaching new audience, its a goated story
@@JumpmanTF you're a goated story teller. If you made videos on different sports and different athletes(more mainstream) I know you'd blow tf up on youtube.
Excellent video.
Inspiring video!
What an amazing video
Sotomayor the King of the high jump!
Really enjoyable viewing but Charles Austin attempted 246 after his 239 OR in Atlanta 1996.
Damnit! I did figure I'd miss some. Thank you for the comment

Great video
crazy that it was set so many years ago as recovery and everything has improved so much you would think it would get broken
Amazing video
Always think it’s criminal that channels that make great content like this have low subscriber counts.
What a catastrophic New Zealand accent OMG!!! His bééést atééémpt ...
molto bello! ...no limit, TOP!
I'm not sure why but the high jump is up there with the 100m and the 200m events as far as getting me excited to watch again. I did the high jump in school and I remember sometimes for fun we would put the bar up to the record height, stand underneath it, and be like HOLY $#%^
These are my experiences exactly hahaha. I call it the original battle Royale, it has such a captivating elimination format.
14:02 This happened to me in high school when I was 16 years old attempting 7'0". I was over the bar but the back of my thighs knocked it down. So close. I found out later the 16 year old national record was 6' 10 1/2". Oh well. I still cleared 6'10" which was the best jump in Texas.
5:22
This. The only _real_ acknowledgement I've seen of it other than announcers is an _admittedly _*_rather_* high traffic RUclips video about their greatest match you mentioned.
I was at storied Franklin Feield on june 3rd , 1976 to watch Dwight
Stones break his own world record he set in Munich in 73. Cool warching in in person.
Almost as good as being at the millrose games for the wanamaker mile in the mid 80s.
Turing Complete music??? ❤
I think this a record not alot enough people have worked at their whole adolescence to beat. It will someday. I just think its obscure enough, not obscure, just not enough mainstream for everyone with the best body type for it to attempt it.
Good video!
Amazing video!
Its an amazing story :)
A shame you didn't mention Stefan Holm in this video, in comparison with his length he have jumped same height as Sotomayor.
He holds the record for the highest clearance over his height. He is tied with a jumper named Franklin Jacobs. They both cleared 59cm over their respective heights.
minor detail, but Charles Austin attempted 2.46 in atlanta 1996. I don't tihnk I seen any videos of the jumps but Austin also has a record of being very gutsy. Jumping 2.34 in Zürich and raising the bar to new american record and 5cm pb and clearing it. Also attempting world records in Tokyo (still only 2.45 back then) and atlanta (2.46). In the grand scheme of thigns it's not too big a detail
It feels less like they were rivals and more like they were companions, who played it up for the big screen but wanted to see each other win. Especially with this look here 12:30
Thats athletics :) its all comradarie. Except the sprints haha
Parece imposible de batir ese récord. La técnica de Sotomayor, roza la perfección
Psychologically one of the most difficult events of track & field. You probably won't have your best jump at the highest bar level. You will always end with 3 faulty attempts.
Bravo
Please make a similar video regarding the pole vault wr starting from bubka to lavillenie all the way to mondo
some of Barshim's big clearances are so cool to watch, they're explosive yet ultra smooth. It must kill him that he never got the world record because he was clearly capable.
He still is competing, the record is a long shot but he'll probably medal at this years olympics atleast.
Sotomayor,30 ans d’avance.
Hasta siempre la Victoria
Great work, lovely content! I think we need honourable mention of Partyka's 2.37m jump with huge cleareance at Atlanta Olympics, experts measured that it was between 2.47 - 2.52
5:00 settling unsettling but still rated highly
so wierd but respectful some people devote their whole life to jumping over a random bar and other people watch it
