High Jump: A Journey from 2.30m to 2.45m (part 2 of 2)

[lease2coach1]

Wonderful--thanks for compiling and posting!

[jacky7291994]

whats that backgound music?

[RandomLevitation]

The only thing I can think of is like these dudes can clear fences without any problem.

[MatthewPietrus]

2:02 Stefan Holms took off SOO far away. Holy shit

AND 2:45 why does the board say 2.08 meters?

[MatthewPietrus]

2:02 Stefan Holms took off SOO far away. Holy shit

Interesting to see Sotomayor used 9 strides from his mark on most of his jumps, but only 7 for the world record jump. Sad I know but anyone know any reason. Great vid.

[Leibowitz]

Awesome compilation, i just love the flowing motion over the bar...

My favourite jumper is Stefan Holm, he is just so tiny compared to the other athletes and i can relate to that very well :)

[SexxyKevin]

those would be amazing backflips

[KevYuuuu]

Hi

i was wondering what workouts like squats, box jumps etc, to do to increase my jumping ability

And also, where could i possibly practice high jump outside of my high school because my coach doesnt really give us much practice and i feel that i need more.

Thanks

[5damoora]

hey where can i get some steroids like Sotomayor?

[billhj2]

@5damoora Possibly at one of the elite training institutes in Cuba

[themagicone0ont]

@billhj2 he stested only positive for cocaïne, not EPO or that kind of stuff.

[billhj2]

@themagicone0ont Of course he hasn't tested positive for EPO, why the hell would a high jumper need to take that!? He tested positive twice, first time for cocaine, second time for the anabolic steroid 'nandrolone' in 2001, after which he retired.

[Fighter0489]

SORRY , DOPING  !!!

[kangarootrackclub]

Great Video!!!

[Fighter0489]

DOPING !!!

[nicktam23]

I jump at Texas Tech University and my coach coached the second jumper in this video.

[skatercuber4life]

I was wondering if it would be possible to match or break a high jumper thats 6'3 and your 5'8. well he weights what 85kg and you weigh 60kg so anythings possible.

[1rockpile]

I can't thank you enough...When I have had a tough day and it seems as though my work, pressures, and the "establishment" have beaten me down to a point of despair, a blessed video like yours bring me a joy beyond this world. The musical selection. The slo-mo replay, on your part and the reaction and passion on the jumpers' part remind me of my youth and when I flew. Not as high as these men, but flight just the same...The Jacobs "Slope", the Sjoberg "Mullet", Holm's ridiculous take off spot...

[bman342]

No, thank YOU, great compilation.

[laiupong]

great!

[strikername]

My favortie is Stefan Holm at 2.40m he is 5'10'' and look from where he is jumping!! it's the sickest jump i've ever seen

[mychannel61]

i love the athletes of the past they all had a lot of passion and they would never quit at a hard time!

[zaidejas112]

thenks

[zaidejas112]

of first

[billhj2]

@zaidejas112 higher by creed

[zaidejas112]

Whot the name of this song ?

[billhj2]

@zaidejas112 The first or second song?

[joe47Xcel]

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!

[AllAboutYeshua]

Both parts are Awesome Videos!!! Many great high-jumpers shown.

My all time fav high-jumper is Franklin Jacobs (5ft7/8 tall) 2m32cm. (I think he clipped the bar off at 2m38cm)

Many thanks for putting this video up on YT

[jpydrg]

Thanks much  for the two videos : oscar for I. Paklin at 2:41. As this was already mentioned, the greatest missing ones are the 1978 straddle jumps from V. Yatschenko (by far the most beautiful on aesthetic grounds). Not that convinced about the slightly too intrusive music. Last but not least ; J. Sotomayor should not even be mentioned here : his records have about the same value as the ones from Ben Johnson and Florence Griffith-Joyner...

[billhj2]

Thanks for your comment. When I get around to making the videos better, I will be sure to include Yashchenko's jumps and others which should be in them. As for Sotomayor, I'm aware he tested positive later in his career but I couldn't possibly omit his amazing jumps.

[billhj2]

'Higher' by Creed

[UEGQsnipekid2]

Thanks. thats really a good song

[TaylorBoi11]

@jpydrg Sotomayor is the greatest High Jumper ever until proven otherwise. He tested positive later in his career true but its no way you can look past his amazing jumps. Great video compilation!

[tasossemfe]

@TaylorBoi11 You must know that the high jump is 90% technique,drugs have almost no effect.

[TaylorBoi11]

@tasossemfe You're talking to a high jumper bruh. I know a lot about it.  its crazy u say drugs have no effect... Lmfao crazy comment.

[bufbis2340]

Thank you for this very good video : i am french,47 years old,fond of athletism and my perfornances were (when i was younger !) : 100m: 11s10  high jump: 1m85 200m: 22s22

long jump: 6m33 triple jump: 12m60

[KonTR4BanD]

3:24 his jump was pure vertical, very little distance covered compared to the other jumpers, amazing

[billhj2]

I don't understand you.

[KonTR4BanD]

The guy basically said that Javier was 1.93cm tall and he jumped over his own height by 52cm

[Ruhiganer]

Javier Sotomayor hat seine Körpergrösse von 1.93m um sage und schreibe 52cm übersprungen...wahnsinn.

Super video!

[leonazul28]

@Ruhiganer No, Sotomayor is 1.95 cm. I'm cuban.

[matticalka]

Really awesome video ! Congratulations and thanks

[arturogrecia]

[agcurtain]

Best Vid ever

[TheCaffman]

Great Video ....first song was awesome.

[5damoora]

sotomayor is the fucking shiiiiittt!!!!

[ArkRazor1]

Ditto santip9. There is nothing that is even close to the T&F drama of the HJ at an elite competition. It goes on for a couple of hours as jumpers start dying off as the bar goes higher. No poles or equipment- just athletes trying to beat the bar at the next level to survive!

[santip9]

As a former high jumper, and most importantly as a track and field fan, THANK YOU so much for putting this together. Absolutely fantastic!!

[FlyersTrack]

real good quality and real good edit. nice vid. my new fav comilation

[skipmondo]

Just a super great piece of flight ballet with the right vibes...

[billhj2]
