Dick Fosbury OL guld 1968

Dick Fosbury fortæller om hvordan han som en af de første udviklede den nye springstil og vandt guld ved OL 1968.
Bemærk at han til sidst i videoen nævner at han VISUALISEREDE springet inden han startede sit tilløb !

Interesting change to the technique is that now jumpers lead with one arm stretched out over the car-instead of at their sides like Fosbury. This is a great doc and the narrator is SMOOOTH.

i wanna see the jumper who was tied with him that managed to jump that high without using Fosbury's technique

Over 11 years after this the world record was held by a straddler not flopper.

It's not surprising that he stayed in the same field and he's now an engineer...

unfuzzy because he Engineered the style of jump..

[@thethirdman225]

@@andpeoplesayineedalife6418 His technique was developed by trial and error, not by engineering principles. He really started it when he was about 16 and it evolved from a layout scissors to what you see here.

[@andpeoplesayineedalife6418]

TheThirdMan trail and error is engineering you don’t think people try a idea once and it works perfectly?

[@thethirdman225]

@@andpeoplesayineedalife6418 You should try finding out how he did it. And no: engineers use theory to work out what will hold together or stand up and what won't Yes: that theory is developed from trial and error until it's proved but if that was all anyone had to do to be an engineer, they wouldn't need to go to school. Fosbury used the scissors, then the layout scissors and finally the technique he evolved to what we know today.

Don't forget that Debbie Brill introduced the Brill Bend at the Olympics in 1968. She never won gold but competed until the 1984 games.

This would be the equivalent of being the first basketball player to do a slam dunk and using it to win a championship.

[@larryjones8848]

What they fail to mention is that the Fosbury Flop was only made possible by the advent of the cushioned landing pit. But, it by far the best technique if you can land on your back.

[@thethirdman225]

Except that this is not true. Have a look at the early part of the clip that shows him jumping into a pit of wood shavings.

[@deenibeeniable]

The "original" Olympics were the ancient Greek ones. The "modern" Olympics started in 1896 and are still going. That's why it's the 20-something-th Olympiad.

[@johnford5568]

Amazing, the athlete center of mass still hits the bar except the body curve causes it to be outside the physical body and so the bar remains in place.

[@thethirdman225]

That's not the secret of the flop. Very few people can actually achieve that and it remains an incidental rather than essential part of the technique. The difference between what Fosbury did and what went before him started with the first step of his run, not with him going over the bar backwards.

It's interesting that when AI was given this task, it also went through those other earlier techniques but at the end ''discovered'' the flop. Unfortunately it did not discover any better technique, so I guess that's what we have to live with...

WE STARTED IN FIRST GRADE HIGH JUMPING...ALWAYS DID THE SADDLE FORM...STILL ONLY LIKE LOOKING AT SADDLE TYPE... IN 1964 MY GYM COACH TOLD ME NOT TO SPIN AROUND 4 TIMES TO THROW THE SHOT BECAUSE IT'S A WASTE OF ENERGY...YEARS LATER WHEN FUERBACH AND OLDFIELD EMPLOYED THE DISCUS SPIN ON THE SHOT PUT, THEY BROKE THE WR BY 5 FEET...FOGITABOUIT!!!

[@markrymanowski719]

This is the only flop to be an eternal winner.

[@chrisslater4053]

I came up with an idea to jump farther in a different event, the long jump. If a person jumped & then twisted into a position with the feet leading, facing down, the person could flatten out, then hit toes first, compress & stand up.

[@endokrin7897]

I THINK I get what you're saying. Except, the way they land now, on their butts, gives them that little bit extra of air time. If they're travelling fast enough, retracting their legs and feet keeps them airborne a moment longer, during which time they're continuing to travel across the sand and gaining precious distance, even in that very short moment of time. 🤔

[@gordonwaldner9792]

Please post a video. I'd love to see this.

A legend of own way. Dick Fosbury started high jumping at the age of 16 with the traditional roll jump style. Then he revolutionized the traditional roll jump style by replacing the jumps with a "strange" backward style. His coach discouraged him from using the unconventional method. Newspapers wrote that Fosbury's technique was like "a fish flopping into a boat" and that he was "the laziest high jumper in the world". . . . But 5 years later, at the age of 21, he won Olympic gold (in 1968 in Mexico) using his technique. Since then, all high jumpers use this "strange" . . . “Fosbury flop” - back-first technique.
