he is 5’11” for those who don’t know what 1.81 meters meant

[@joebarns2456]

@@joebarns2456 It's 5'11.

[@RobertJohnson-bj5lk]

My metric conversion app. says 1.81 meters equals 5.93832021 feet. 0.93832021 feet equals 11.2598425 inches. Therefore, this high jumper is approximately 5 feet 11.2598425 inches tall. There. Fully nerdified.

[@barryirwin2872]

It is just a tad under 6 feet

[@brianchristopher4666]

unreal

[@Abdulmalikbinmarwan11]

Height factor only effects those who cannot adapt, and is mainly an early on obstacle only.

[@barryirwin2872]

You could not be more wrong

Dumbest thing I’ve heard all year lmao

CR let me try this 💀

[@chairjacker]

Wow he lost a lot of weight

[@crabb9966]

I don't understand the notion that he was too short to become a high jumper. Charles Austin, Sorin Matei and Hollis Conway Aleksej Dmitrik are all pretty much the same and have all cleared 240.

[@crabb9966]

What I mean is that it has proven to be possible

[@Alpha-wr5ft]

Awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖

[@manir2660]

Is that Eli Manning with the Bronze??

[@supremewisdomgaming]

Ronaldo be like 🗿

[@minimae2333]

Lol I’m a high jumper in my school team but I’m only 1.59😅

[@mcmerry2846]

I had the highest vertical jump of the entire university, 45 inches with 5'6''

[@bolof0262]

@@mcmerry2846 how you do it?

[@epiccarpetdog]

​@@bolof0262its not about the height with vertical jump its about the strength and speed of the legs

[@nessasnoopy4225]

If he is considered short what am I then

[@StandardEnglish]

It's like the NBA. Anything below 6ft is short. High Jumpers are typically over 6ft3 so you don't have to lift your hip that much too go over the bar.

[@wtfftw24]

Wasn't an Italian to win the gold?

This was 2004 Olympics, 2021 was an Italian and a fellow from Qatar in a tie for gold.
