Mutaz Essa Barshim 2.40m +2.46m attempts, 2018 Gyulai Memorial Szekesfehervar

[@elisabettapittarello6698]

Today, he's the Olympic champion with another great man, Gianmarco Tamberi. Amazing, guys!

[@peters6119]

On his first attempt at 2.46 he only brushed the bar lightly with his ARM on the way up. It was already wobbling before his body got there but his whole body ... shoulders, hips legs ... was clearly over by several cm, suggesting that he is capable of jumping that high. However, he can't expect to have too many chances like that. This was a missed opportunity to be a legend forever. He might never have another chance again where he is jumping that well. These chances are fleeting and track and field world records are incredible feats which is why they are not broken very often. This record is one of the most incredible of them all. Barshim is amazing to even be able to challenge it. I hope he does it but I fear that this might have been the best opportunity he every gets.

[@PaPo0Se546]

Spot on comment , cheers mate

[@darrelljones8545]

Agreed. That injury sure didn't help and now with Covid-19. It's a shame. Hope this pandemic didn't snuff out his best year.

[@Cristiano.Scarpelli]

It look like that he also touched a little the back of his thigh. Try to stop the image at 3:09

[@gamernihad]

Guess who won a gols

[@scottwarren4998]

he should have gone for 2,45 not 2,46. Why the hell is one not allowed to 2,45? makes no sense at ALL

[@highjumphd6911]

to this day I do not know how the bar fell, it was a great jump

[@maponga01]

he is not far ... i am tipping him to be the man who breaks Sotomayor's record

[@Terrick_Johnson.]

filip. I wish you the best of luck.you can do it. And I'll remember ur name for I can see you on the big screen in a few years

[@Terrick_Johnson.]

filip. #goat

[@Terrick_Johnson.]

filip. Man thats great keep working hard and progessing in your jumps and you will definitely break the world record.no doubt in my mind

[@organizedmicrowave4414]

filip, Holy! That's not too far from the world record, my goodness. If you don't mind may I ask your height? Just want to see if height has anything to do with how high you can jump.

[@Shunarjuna]

filip, not to be discouraging or anything but Javier Sotomayor was jumping 2.30m at your age. You have a long way to go.

[@zeudoud78]

the coldest coach of the world

[@alexandrac2719]

I want him to get the record but then I’ll be sad Sotomayor won’t have it anymore

[@Kovacsxmlbb]

And on the 30th of July, he is an Olympic Champion

[@borood1188]

It doesn't matter if he doesn't get the record. He's still the greatest ever.

[@ladislavbaso1139]

what?

[@lincolndelaparte885]

El mejor de todos los tiempos es el cubano Javier Sotomayor.

[@peteralix6166]

@Mr. P. Enis cleared 2.40 24 times

[@solomonovba4729]

@Mr. P. Enis you're right. Barshim to me is the greatest high jumper in history. The 2.40 jump would have broken the record

[@polaristrans]

​@@solomonovba4729Lol

[@AhmedAouidef]

Definitely the Next world record holder ! Successor to Javier sottomayor !

[@keepitreal1467]

That first attempt was so close.

[@chikaodiliobi4198]

That was astonishingly close. He missed by a whisker!

[@finnrmr]

His coach does not look too happy at all...

[@scottwarren4998]

Lol..I guess the coach wanted the rib to bounce a tiny bit more to the right in the first attempt on 2.46. That would have been a world record.

[@imposterofthevent2850]

i think his right side lowered because of his hand..idk he just need to open up his shoulders over the bar like he did with 2.43

[@ANDY1985UK2011]

i wonder which of the jumping records will be broken first? high jump, long jump or triple jump?

[@christopher6969]

The take off point has to be closer as the bar gets higher, you can not be that far away at greater heights. The upward momentum is comprimised because of the distance traveled across.

[@saulitis3]

you are dumb

[@dragodrags5071]

learned that from middle school track?

[@giuliopalermo6888]

It's the opposite. As the height grows you'll have to take off further

[@surreal_feelins]

@@giuliopalermo6888 true but barshim takes off super far away like probably more than necessary

[@carlosserantes6187]

Muy bien...otro dia ...El soto sigue siendo el rey

[@kamilkrajcovic]

The 240 jump would have cleared 246 easily. wauu

[@henry-dq2ls]

Kamil Krajčovič mayby 2.44

[@finnrmr]

Kamil Krajčovič Yeah he could jump his PB again in 2014 what was 243

[@AgentZTN]

Kamil Krajčovič not even close, hit lower buttock almost touches the bar, it’s a 241-242 range jump.

[@ElPescadoMan]

Facts

[@BigMind666]

The only one that came to close to W.R!Also his jump at 2.43 was clear prop 2.47

[@daniella921]

I miss you my darling Essa

[@jobimalhi230]

He has dont enough energy and luck is not with him in 1-2 year he can clear it i think

[@ajrocks12x]

He needs to stop taking so many jumps at the lower heights so that he can save his energy for the big one. There's no need for him to jump at 2.32

[@pwhit59]

Anthony Rock absolutely he needs to come in at 2.38

[@evgenyzak2035]

He could lose many competitions then

[@ajrocks12x]

Evgeny:Or he could win every competition and break the world record since he would have fresher legs and a less tired body.

[@evgenyzak2035]

It doesn't work this way. We are humans, not robots. Today you jump 2.42, tomorrow just 2.32. They need to begin with comfortable heights.

[@jobimalhi230]

Its for comfidence and worm up

[@ElPescadoMan]

He should've started at 2.46 and then go lower. He got tired at the end. I'm pretty sure the first jump cleared 2.46..he went way higher than 2.40.

[@donovanyoung9996]

You can't go lower.

[@imposterofthevent2850]

his coach was like "huh?"

[@垢陸上]

Just a little bit!

[@ivoryas1696]

4:44 Dang... That was still over 6 feet...

[@music-ls9gl]

That's 8 foot

[@Liasos88]

6 feet and 2 toes

[@musicislife3638]

I'm pretty sure he ever broke the world record during his practice. unfortunately not in competition.

[@carlpeterkirkebo2036]

In interviews he has stated that he does not jump high during practice...
