Stefan Holm 2.40

[Peekingduck]

The Swedish air-force should think about recruiting him...

[lilyhigh]

異次元の走高跳

究極の走高跳

[RedCelxez]

[Talbuk]

A backflip out of this setup would look amazingly epic xD

[MrRazorblade999]

Doping

[tompatomp]

who said white men can't jump? :P

[jenstornqvist]

pause at 0:04 , no fucking comment

[gabochore1979]

hes is like a cat

[Kemusika]

I just dont get it.. how he fly over the bar like that

[aboriginalhairbrush]

im 13 years old, and i can jump 1.65 . is that good for my age or is that pretty shitty????

[Theowest]

@aboriginalhairbrush that's very good.

[SupSupSup8]

@aboriginalhairbrush That's pretty Good Mate



[lesroooock]

@aboriginalhairbrush is very good!!!

[MrLandale]

He flies like a rocket..5-6 cm over!

[theskeletonslayer]

0:03 amazing backflipng would be a piece of cake for this guy

[MalCobb63]

huuuuuuge! ♥

[10Killuminati]

This guy should be disqualified because he flew rather than jump

[ufzrt7]

Doesn't really matter about height. You still have to get up and over the bar no matter how tall you are. Myself I feel holm was at an advantage due to the fact he had less body to get over the bar.. he just had to work onhis vertical take off more.

[samyounk58]

one song was going through his head during this jump...I BElEVE I CAN FLY! I BELIEVE I CAN TOUCH THE SKY!

[nandro83]

who said white men cant jump?



[Horatio405]

@nandro83 a racist little unathletic black named Spike Lee...

[JustElijah]

@Horatio405 1. Calling him a 'black' sounds pretty racist; in case you didn't realise. 2. If his view was that biased, why does anyone feel the need to take that opinion seriously? Can you not disregard it, as just a "racist" guy's opinion?

[mumubear123]

@Horatio405 Have you even watched the movie?

[annamausii98]

wow...wie weit der von dem teil da weg is :O

[sammy9982]

what if he would be a bit taller ? :D

worldrecord? :D

[housetenrckets]

wow...amazing jumper

[crazyjumpjump]

LOL if he was 1.93m imagine how high he can clear...

[duncr]

amazing

[Louisdagod3]

white men can't jump?

[dirkofyork]

he has got to have the world rtecord in running vert

[agt155]

Sotomayor was also a drugs cheat.

[TheDrewpdog]

if he was the avaerage hieght for a high jumper the world record would be 250+

[k0rGw]

how to many strafe? oO

[grotedi]

jekkt u g33k

[JekkT1337]

240 highjump isnt even impressive, fof did 243

[randomperson331]

@JekkT1337 are you retarded?

[terramar111]

I wonder what his vertical jump is (inches).

[WTFbrendanishere]

He jumped like a meter away from the board!!

[Mrquinton7]

how the hell do you do that?

[twistedSkyo]

Seriosly, he should CORK!

[yoesandno]

@twistedSkyo

yeh definetly could go for a quad cork ;D

[JustElijah]

@yoesandno Haha he would probably hyper that by accident :P

[herrbanana]

who says white men can't jump?

[JustElijah]

@herrbanana The funny thing is; I've only ever heard the phrase in my life, when caucasian people are being spiteful, or after doing research. Physiologcally speaking, they have to train harder to get a high jump, power is not naturally a strong suit for caucasians. Strength however, is. But this guy trained A LOT to get where he is.

[randomperson331]

@JustElijah im white i can jump plenty high, i didnt train hard to do it...smfh

[JustElijah]

@randomperson331 I don't know what smfh means, and your personal genes cannot override a reoccuring trend in a race... so yh, yh.

[JustElijah]

@randomperson331 I don't know what smfh means, and your personal genes cannot override a reoccuring trend in a race... so yh, yh.

[ajwazhere]

@JustElijah They can indeed. Triple Jump world record is held by a white guy from GBR. High jump should have been help by this guy, but he's just not tall enough. Height for height he has everyone beat. That's two out of the three jumping events. I'd say that's a win. smfh = shake my fucking head

[JustElijah]

@ajwazhere Calm yourself, damn sideman. I'm not talking about elite athletes; how many high jump competitors are of African descent, in comparison to caucasians? Don't answer that, I could probably guess it. People of African descent generally have a lot more fast-twitch fibres; which is an undisputed fact. You can try to argue, but if you want to argue with fact; I won't give you a minute more of my time. If you won't piss off; I will. SNM.

[ajwazhere]

@JustElijah Keep an open mind, you may be offended by this fact. The majority of Caucasians get into college based on grades. The majority of African Americans get in to college on sports scholarships. Clearly this is the basis for which you base your non-elite athlete date. No need to argue anatomy, just a need to realize why there are so many more AA's than C's. P.S. all of our high jumpers are white. Peace Elijah.

[Horatio405]

@JustElijah Hey bud, white men swept ALL MEDALS at the 2004 Olympics in the high jump. How do you account for that anomaly? Here's one for you: How come no African nation has ever built a first world civilization? Lowe IQ maybe? If you don't want to hear stereotypes against blacks, don't spew them against whites!

[FiftyPercentRussian]

@JustElijah Contraire to poular belief, high jumpers are predominantly white.. Eastern European to be more exact

[JustElijah]

@FiftyPercentRussian I have a life to get to... go suck a lemon and argue as to why it's sour.

[FiftyPercentRussian]

@JustElijah That wasn't an argument, it was a fact correcting your misled statements

[JustElijah]

@FiftyPercentRussian It was not a fact, you are not sure of that. You can lie to yourself and say otherwise, but I don't need to hear it. Just piss off, you're just wasting space. If you won't piss off, I will; so I'll just delete the next thing you say without reading it. Ok? Good. Fire away.

[Horatio405]

@JustElijah Power not a strong suit for whites? Ha. Who do you think dominates Olympic lifting? White do, and that is a pure testment to power and explosiveness. I would concede that slightly on average higher caucasion BF and larger upper torso (which is why whites dominate the bench press), would pose some negating factor, but the whites can overcome that obstacle by becoming more powerful then thin legged Africans.

[JustElijah]

@Horatio405 I couldn't be bothered to read anything you said, so if you agreed or disagreed with what I said; I have no idea. I suggest you find better things to do with your life. I understand and know the physiology behind my arguement, which is why I cannot go back on anything I said; because denouncing the truth I've said just to avoid confrontation, is not something I've ever seen sense in. Good day and leave my month old comment alone; it has done you no harm. If it has, forgive it anyway.

[WTFbrendanishere]

He was way over it aswell

[Cowtipper4957]

DAMN! white boy got hops

[EpicWin19]

It makes it look even better that hes a short high jumper, how tall is he about 5' 11/6'0? Epic spring too, he'd never have trouble jumping over a high fence if he was garden hopping =D

[souparman]

look at the spring this guy gets omg unbelievable 

[SuperMrFaggot]

I know what he is thinking; WOOHOOO

[dzahr]

WTF ?!

[wotaousama]

２４０飛んだ人とは聞いていましたが、ここまで背が小さいとは思­いませんでした。

本当にすごいです。

[MrRan8300]

@wotaousama say what?

[dirkofyork]

he could seriously get his head to like 12 feet, f that

[hoticeburns]

MOTHER$*&@%$*&%...damn this guy was good when he was around!!

[learntoplayy]

do you know if javier was more explosive than stefan? if you dont, what does the fact that he is black, matter? exactly, it doesnt :) you've got to test both of them, to see how they do in the same tests (which cannot be done now, since they're both retired and holm is 9 years younger than javier)

[learntoplayy]

dude, you cant base your theory on just 2 parameters :)

[BuckinghamLindsey]

this is the 2.40 jump! Not 2.38 like you say, I know, I was there!

[jqjq1]

tats 2.38.. i saw another video

[krullboll]

That is 60cm over his own head. XD

[punkeru92]

amazing :O

[clunied]

stefan holm is 5.11

[marxsizmo]

6,0

[4nthony99]

WTH!!!

Anybody know how to train exactly at high jumping?

[CalciumIRL]

Unfortunately, it's not higher. It just looks high because he jumps very far back from the line and for a high jumper, he is actually quite short.

[Bajspellen1337]

Sotomayor was convicted for taking steriods twice, after the second time he stopped jumping...

[trickygoose]

First offence was cocaine not steroids.

[abelardorgr]

Javier Sotomayor, from Cuba, the best. 2.45m

[anderzofsweden]

He is 5,9383202 feet..

[brianrockz]

yeah but lest you forget javier sotomayor is 14cm taller than stefan holm

[fraka899]

@brianrockz Its not that simple.. you cant watch that way.. holm has more explosion because he is shorter, his body is smaller so in the air he can easily go over the bar.. I would still say that xavier is the best all time...

[hidalgo944]

respect.

but Chavier Sotomayor jumped 2.33 at 16 years of age and jumped subsequently over heights of 243, 244 and 245 cm. ;*)

[Relaxe]

Fuck that is totally awsome

[Born4Guitar97]

in sweden a guy that is 13 years old jumped 1.90:O sweden rocks:)

[denzel441]

fuck and hes not very tall

[Jackhee95]

hes 6 inches :P

[Jackhee95]

shit i mean 6 feet xD

[renato959]

uau

[Adrena1in]

My all-time favourite high-jumper. Stunning, the heights he could jump, considering he wasn't even 6-feet tall. He holds the joint record for height jumped over one's own head...nearly 2 feet!!

[charliehustlenflow]

he is six feet basically. almost exactly. but still point taken he has mad hops

[jagjagjag009]

he is 181 cm not 183...

i guess thats 5, 11 1/5 feet

[Bionicllee0]

this is 2.40 up, and 3.50 long xD

[jhim767]

damm..look at the distance between him and the bar...and how short he is......high jump must have been the only thing he did in hes whole life

[lazzermusen]

@jhim767 or it must've been the sole thing he wanted to do. he's got a fuck-load 'o technique in high-jump.

[rial93]

@jhim767 He is not short.

[rotfflmfao12]

@rial93 haha yea he is man

[S3rike]

he was so away from the bar :O

[Mauritius12]

pro :D

[rockinrexy1214]

beastly

[ilovelopilato]

how tall is he ?

[gurra9]

181cm

[03Ranger4x2]

nah, the higher you go, the farther away you need to jump from.

[almgrenNnq]

Fake? Are you completetly retarded?

[almgrenNnq]

HAHAHA omg.. Just an easy mistake, but you are compleTETLYTELLET retraded, you dumb fuck

[IsThatMyAdobo]

haha Jimi85

you dipshit.

Only morons insult other people's spelling because they have nothing else to say

[feistuub]

Idiot.

[Jimi85]

What you don't know, IsThatMyAdobo/Ass, you ignorant fuck, is that the spelling mistake almgrenNnq did is a TYPICAL mistake when swedish people talk or write english. No go back to your fried rice.

[zaxor1234]

han äger ju!

[matthiasprenzlau]

2.40m high and 6m long! amazing!!!

[avorachak127]

6m long? thats not impressive at all lol

[matthiasprenzlau]

thats very amazing or could you jump 6m long and 2,40m high in one jump???

[avorachak127]

oh you meant he jumped 6 m in length while hihg jumping 2.40

[runningtings101]

wow this is so cool. I wish I could jump as high as that. What a skill to have in life. You can, er, like jump over really high shit. He'll go far this lad. He's got a great jump on him. Jumpety jump jump like a kangeroo. Bloody hell.

[julielittlebuns]

No he won't break the world record because he just retired. He has actually never even been close to the world record. 2.40 is no where near 2.45 in track sense.

Not dissing Holm though. He was sick, one of the best ever!

[headzam]

flying at 0.04 sec

[jako313030]

he is the one that will break the world record

[LouieLovesLollies]

he flies. 0.o

[tmac978]

look how far away he is from the bar at his fuckin' take off! that's crazy!

[TNUCARU]

Who said white men can't jump!

[hughes366]

if he was taller he wouldnt necassairily jump higher he uses his shortness to his advantage hes so compact, if he was taller hed have a longer body that he has to get over the bar.

[sexystarwarplayer]

yo he was jumping soooo far away from the bar

[camtheman3x6]

HE KICKED HIS HEAD!

[MadeOfBlackWood]

I think he's the best. 181cm tall and he jumped over 240cm! Sh*t, if he was 200cm too i bet he whould jump 260cm. XD

[zweex03]

He is 1,80 and jump 2,40 hmmmm... :D:D

[DaiMer82]

1,81*

[LastOfTheJervayans]

I've watched this guy before this shit is just no human. They should check his DNA this shit is crazy.

[Lehmann108]

You got it right, this shit is crazy!

[schutzer1]

2,40 yeah it´s over becuse he is higher than tthat :p

[Steinkleppe]

It's just insane that it's possible to jump 60 cm over his head! haha

[learntoplayy]

This is 2.40 with no doubt

[PumnuBun]

omg ..LOOSERS !this was european championships ! And he jump at European Championships 2.43 .. Loosers ! Is not fake,or 2m13 or something like this .. is 2m40 LOOSERS !

[schutzer1]

[learntoplayy]

Gogo look at my 2,06 video. Im 14 and 1,68cm tall. Been doing high jump for a year now.

[dock411]

[bigjoshscherer]

[dock411]

[bigjoshscherer]

I have no idea dude Im a thrower, I cant recognize sarcasm via computer

[trickygoose]

Worls best for a 14 year old is 2.15!

[SoloRunner01]

[AntoOon1080]

[oygk]

[dock411]

[PartySnickarn]

Holm is 181 cm tall and he and one more guy are the only people who has jumped 59 cm over their own length.
