New York 2014 was crazy. I've lost count of how many times I've watched that, probably about as many as the Powell/Lewis 1991 long jump final. The most frustrating part is that, if Barshim had got to 2.46 ealier, he would probably have cleared it.

This is really infuriating. This video had well over a million views, maybe nearing 2 million before it was taken down. I watched the original and it was (obviously) really good. Such a shame that all the views and money you gained from it is probably lost (not sure on that though). I’ll rewatch it again because it’s a good video, nothing like watching someone glaze their idols for 18 minutes 😉.

@@JumpmanTF Yeah you’re NOTHING without this video. In fact, during the short time that neither the old or new version of this video was up, I hacked your channel and changed it to Runman. But I guess you’ll never know how because I changed it back after you posted this.

@Kore_Gaming Man do u not get a joke? I was joking about my most recent comment (about the “hacking”, etc.). Also, it doesn’t matter that he’s got other videos over 1 million views, this was/is one of his best (all of them are great) videos and is the most relevant to his channel. His name is JUMPman. He said in his pinned comment that this video is his favourite and therefore it’d important to have it up. Do you disagree and think it’s a good thing that the Olympics is taking down and copyright striking channels that show any footage of the Olympics (if that)? Like, what’s your point?

[@AthleticsEditz]

@Kore_Gaming The fact that I literally said “I hacked your channel and changed the name” to him. Surely that’s enough for you to know it’s a joke? Also, look at my original comment. Does it look like I’m being hateful towards -Run- Jumpman? It’s really just common sense.

[@peters6119]

I was in the stands in New York when they both cleared 2.42 and both had attempts at 2.46. It was pretty exciting stuff. Historic. Barshim had the best attempt of his career at the WR. But now it will probably not be broken for another 30-50 years.

[@AllInTheGame01]

Really thought back in '14 that a 23yr old Barshim being pushed by a 25yr old Bondarenko would go on to legitimately challenge & break Sotomayor's insane 2.45m WR, was so disappointed he never jumped over 2.43m again & not over 2.40m post '18 when he was still only 27yrs old :( Is 25yr old JuVaughan Harrison (2.36m PB) who's had a disappointing season after a good 2.34m outdoor opener still the best bet to be the next 2.40m+ jumper?! Gotta s/o one of the best names in the entire sport in Canadian High Jumper Django Lovett (2.33m PB) 😂

[@stoutlager6325]

Harrison would have to make some adjustments to his technique to seriously challenge 2.40. That guy has so many moving parts to his jump it's almost luck when everything comes together properly for him. Otherwise he just bombs out in the 2.20s. I have zero prospects about who might be the next to take a serious run at the record. There wasn't anyone in the junior championships this year. Nobody in the current top 10. I mean I'd love to be surprised but it's not like the women's. Yaroslava really did look like she would be matching Blanka's 2.08 at some point if not the WR. The potential there was obvious. For the men? No such individual yet.

[@AllInTheGame01]

@@stoutlager6325 Which is why I brought up JuVaughan as there are no other real male prospects (maybe Oleh Doroshchuk?) that have come through over the last few yrs unlike the women who've had the likes of Yaroslava, Angelina Topic, Britt Weerman, Karmen Bruus, Rachel Glenn etc. all come through. Vashti for me has seriously plateaued, needs to move away from her dad as her coach to a new coaching environment to fully realise her potential!

[@dietechnikthaddeus]

i fuckin love highjump. even after about ten years of no track and field due to back injury it's still my favourite discipline. All that time i was still following highjump contests. I still have faith in barshim or bondarenko hitting the 2.47 mark. I know both have the hight, they just need that one jump where everything lines up... and I'll be there for it.

[@NelleBligh333]

Thanks for the reupload, I enjoyed it even more than when I watched it the first time. I still enjoy watching the comps but Men's high jumping has been underwhelming since Barshim was injured. Do we all think he would have made 2.46m if he hadn't suffered that injury? In contrast I think Bondarenko was never going to make the WR height, he was never as convincing and he had more attempts than Barshim. But what is it with Ukrainians being such good high jumpers? They have two of the greatest of all time in Bondarenko and Yaroslava Mahuchikh.

[@Turtled03]

I didn't know en aften ved svanefossen (aka the wirtual song) was used outside of trackmania videos xD

[@MarksEscalona]

Barshim was close at 2.46 probably even closer than Sotomayor at 4.46 who tried it one time. However no one has jumped over 2:40 more consistently than Sotomayor and that I think give an idea of how hard it is to break that WR.

[@Alchemistic88]

Barshim just needed to try as much as Bonderenko... He'd very likely have gotten a 2.46 or even 2.47, he just seems to burn himself out and doesn't really try the WR enough

[@samsam2235]

Damn, I feel a bit sad now. That's probably why this is a great video.

[@Skywalker-sh5qw]

Great video! Thought of an idea for a video so thought I’d share. You should do a video on Cuban jumpers. They have had so many great jumpers and continue to have so many(even if a lot of them decide to represent another country). I wonder what makes them so good. It’s probably a combination of genetics, training methods…A bit like the Jamaicans and their sprinters.

[@TheNogardNetwork]

[@chethammer]

@LightPink They can choose the next height if there are only left. The record is 2.45 after all.

[@brodiestephens419]

What on Earth are those American commentators doing talking in the Imperial System like it's the 1700s. 😅😅 "Bondarenko is attempting a height of twenty-five sixteenths of a quarter football field here Chip, that's almost thirty-eight square-gallons per yard." "That's right Dave, but don't forget... his shoes are almost nine twenty-fourths of a pound thick, so he'll have to allow an extra four and three-sevenths of a punnet in take-off speed."

[@Alchemistic88]

It's really hard to get your head around how high these jumps are. They are clearing the height of a standard ceiling. That's absurd

Why they don't try 2,45m? It would still be the world record.

[@michaelroxy8852]

Great video, but knowing the record was never broken from the beginning kinda took me out of it

[@odyssey327]

This style of high jump should not be considered as a jump at all. The scissor jump is a true form of high jump where the body stays upright when the jumper clears the bar. Imagine if a jumper jumps up a platform 8 feet high with the current style, the injury sustained is unthinkable.

[@SP-ny1fk]

It would be better if the bar was just there as a guide and cameras could capture the actual height jumped

[@peterruf1462]

2.46 was tried in 1996 by olympia winner Charles Austin

[@joachimb5721]

Can anyone who is more into this sport tell me: looking at the jumps of Barshim and Bondarenko it seems almost obvious that both of them must have jumped a lot higher in training than in those competitions. They must have jumped at least 246 in training, maybe higher. Would you say that is likely correct? Or am I getting something wrong about how this works?

[@JumpmanTF]

At an elite level it's so rare to ever jump as high in training as you would in competition. All down to competitive arousal. But I'd say almost no professional athletes would pr in training. It's not unheard of, I know of one elite high jumper who has a story about jumping a pr in training, and it was because they accidentally missed the competition and jumped on that day out of frustration as 'training'.

[@joachimb5721]

Thanks for the insight. It sounds odd that they wouldn’t ever test their personal bests outside of a competition but I guess they have their reasons.

[@JumpmanTF]

They test it, it's just they can't do it. It's almost like a mental barrier. It's the same reason why many sprinters run their best at the world champs or olympics. Adrenaline and arousal matter a lot. Jumpers generally have a training pb and comp pb.

[@wompastompa3692]

Weird that they can go no higher score than the height they chose. Like in sprinting, every race could be a wr attempt, but same's not true in jumping. I wonder if the wr would have been broken if lasers recorded the highest clear instead of a simple bar.
