There's nothing natural about this technique. You have to force your body to employ it. When I dabbled in athletics in my youth I never could master it; got my best heights with the old straddle, which came quite natural to me. I must commend Fosbury to have perfected this technique until it could yield its full potential.

A lot had to do with the change of the landing surface. I'm not taking anything away from what Fosbury accomplished and pushing the sport to new heights, but one has to think that if the landing surface were still sand pits or the low piles of mats that were previously used he would be reluctant to give himself up like that. But who knows? lol. Maybe he was a nut and would have just back splashed into the sand.

To answer another poster: no, his winning height, 2.24, was not a world record, though I believe it was an Olympic and US record. The word record-holder at the time was Valery Brumel (sp?). Whose WR was 2.28. Fosbury made three attempts at 2.29 but missed on each attempt.

Brumel held the world record at 2.28 at the time of 68 with the normal Straddle technique already done in 1963. In 1971 another person broke that world record, again with just the straddle technique. 73 was the first year that a flop diver took the world record (Dwight jones), but in 1978 a straddle jumper again reclaimed the WR with 2.34. It has even been debated if the straddle technique is even better than the flop, but in the end many find it too hard to learn and master at a consistent level in competitions.

The chicken or the egg ? Due largely to the wider availability of foam rubber HJ landing pits (vs wood shavings), Dick Fosbury was able to safely starting using the "Fosbury Flop", the summer before his junior year Medford HS, OR (1963), Debbie Brill starting using her independently developed, "Brill Bend" around the age of 13 (@1966) in BC, Canada. However, there's no doubt that Fosbury's Olympic winning jump at Mexico City, was the "quantum leap" that changed high jumping forever. The "Fosbury Flop" made every other high jumping technique (roll, straddle) obsolete. By the 1972 Olympics in Munich, 28 out of 40 competitors in the men's HJ saw the dramatically increased potential of using the modification of the old "scissors" technique, the "flop". By 1976, virtually all men and women took up flopping and bending. Pax.

Actually others had jumped with their back to the bar around the same time and before (and independent of Fosbury), like Debbie Brill of Canada and a Montana newspaper from 1959 shows a high school kid named Bruce Quande clearing a bar with his back to it...but no doubt he popularized it and had the most early success with it which made it the preferred style of the last 40 years...
