  • The Straddler on 0:06 is definitely Rolf Beilschmidt (PB 2,31m). This great footage must be recorded in the mid/end 70's.

    @athleticjumps

    Were do you find this rare material?

  • @Peyresourde

    A retired professor and coach of jumps, a big fun of the old soviet school, has retired and left us an inheritance of invaluable VHS videos.........

  • @ATHLETICJUMPS Not because I know on sight but I think the other jumper is Henry Lauterbach, mainly because it's fitting. He was fourth in the moscow olympics on 2.29 and has a personal best of 2.30

  • @ATHLETICJUMPS

    Fantastic, please post more of them. Did he also filmed videos of soviet straddlers, i.e. Vladimir Yashchenko? Just have a look at my YouTube Channel.

  • Thanks a lot for posting this. I can see what the main problem is with the straddle. It'd BS that only with the flop can you have your center of gravity pass at or below the height of the bar. With the straddle, as you can see here, these guys clear the bar with much of their body below the bar at any given moment. I think the main advantage that the flop has is with the high speed of the run-up and allowing for the transfer of the horizontal speed into the vertical lift-off speed.

  • This guy has a good technique esp. when clearing the bar. Who is he?
