Ivan Ukhov (RUS) Wins High Jump Gold - London 2012 Olympics

[@Meechooilka]

Well, 7 years later, and it looks like Kynard will actually get this gold medal due to Ukhov's doping disqualification.

Kynard finally got it gold medal at 2024 Olympics

[@wonderguru7136]

I can't even jump that high they are so good

[@jfp521]

A dash on a score card means they passed that height, for example XX means they still have one attempt left at that height, but XX- means they missed twice at a height and decided to take their last attempt at a higher height, however because they had 2 misses at the previous height they will only get one attempt at the higher height, hope this helps

[@gill9228]

High jump is not just a skill that is learned over time. Its something you can only be good at if you have a real passion for it. One cant really say the same about basketball

Ukhov..one of the incredible talented high jumpers ever. Special person in a good way:) Then we have the 2 others..Barshim and Bondarenkov.Maybe the best high jumpers the last 5-6 years. But Ukhov is a gifted talented man.

[@bassalarcon]

I was rooting for Kynard he's such an amazing man. Funny interview russian man russians jajajajaja

[@Garrison5190]

mutaz essa bashim will win it this year. He has gotten alot better in 4 years. His PB is 2.43m. I think he will win gold this year.

[@randomchannel-px6ho]

I don't know, him and Bondarenko have dominanted this event in 2013-14, both having about the same PBs( Barshim 1cm higher, bit Bondarenko typically went for the WR after clearing 2.40, so it's hard to compare) but they both choked last year and haven't looked good this year. I think a new name will win it this year, winning height prediction: 2.36

[@thethirdman225]

Barshim has a better jump record but Bondarenko has a slightly better competition record. It will be good, especially if Drouin, Protsenko, Kynard etc. get their respective acts together. Current World number one Zhang can't be overlooked either.

[@repoman2115]

I bet he won't though

[@sj1379]

American 🇺🇸 got his gold today! He dedicated it to Russia for doling!

[@jzs0115]

its weird because bohdan bondarenko who came 7th cleared 2:41 at the diamond league and attempted the world record he could have won

[@theseven8199]

The russian man was doped

[@Magnatross]

0:55 he summoned the power of the hair gods to make that jump

[@milahkamilah96]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@thethirdman225]

If Ukhov's drug finding goes against him, he could potentially lose his gold medal and it could end up going to Kynard. Apparently the sample in question is from the 2012 Olympics. That would also promote Barshim and Drouin to silver. Time will tell.

[@lonerider5933]

Quite impressive. With a declining population 2.5 times smaller than the US and 10 times that of China, Russians have been first or second through the Olympics with tough times and crises after the fall of the USSR. Recently they slipped to third, but if I compare it to my country Brazil with 195 million.I can say that Russians are a very strong nation. Counting the medals of ex-USSR 15 republics always puts them in first place in gold and medal count. And most athletes from ex-USSR are Russian.

... he was sure because he had taken drugs to win and now has had his medal stripped from him

[@bobtheminion188]

Why do they get to share a medal when they have a tie? In a lot of other sports have a tie breaker and that's not fair. Either you have tie breakers for all the sports or none, that's it. It's not even fair that before in the sports that have them now didn't have them before. That's just cheating an athlete that has worked their whole life off to have the same score as someone else but not be awarded the same.

[@thethirdman225]

They only share medals for minor placings I think.

[@bobtheminion188]
