Antonin Pauvarel 8?

[@MotionAthlete]

?

[@ivankulola5847]

Antonin Pauvarel forsbury? I thought he'd be 1st

[@psychohist]

@@ivankulola5847 Yeah, shouldn't leave out the guy who invented the technique everyone now uses, and won an Olympic gold with it his first time out.

[@scottwarren4998]

Shouldn't Ukhov be #2? Ukhov didnt even touch the rib on height 2.42. Sjöberg touched the rib on height 2.42.

[@vieuxbal1253]

To be fair Valerij Brumel and Dick Fosbury should have been in that list. It's not only about breaking records but how they contributed to the history of high jump.

[@user-xh9up8zj3j]

Однозначно !!

[@MarkJohnson-zy4fd]

Agree as to both.

[@Cl3verCubing]

Stefan Holm and Patrick Sjöberg are gods and we Swedes are really proud of them!

[@Myrslokstok]

That Holmes guy is amazing. To be kind of average lenght as myself and go for highjump is something extra.

[@King_Arthur_]

Simply amazing human beings. Thanks for the upload!

[@actinggenius]

Sotomayor is the king of high jumpers. Amazing feats that still stand today so many years later.

[@peroskarsson8455]

Crazy comment to Patrick Sjöberg (#2) "he did not win the olympics." Correct, but he won medals in all three of them! A record!

[@karakondzula1388]

Stefan Holm is the most impressive because of his fairly short hight for this sport. I enjoyed watching him as a kid so much.

[@vernejacobs6019]

But taller also means longer legs to get over the bar. You csnt be more impressive than Sotomayor who has jumped over 2.40 many more times than anyone else.

[@crabb9966]

Charles Austin still beats him in that regard imo

[@cesarmirandaabreu6091]

Javier Sotomayor has the record of being the athlete who has more times jumped over 2, 40 meters and that's a world record too.

[@warrior5341]

Sure, period!!!

[@fotisfotis8060]

In terms of vertical leap, barshim is superior

[@taylorburtis]

Sotomayor is the world record holder. He is the best, and it’s not up for debate lmao.

[@juliomiguel6597]

@@taylorburtis I am Cuban myself and I find he was lucky at 2 45 outdoors and 2 43 indoor, both times he touched the bar but luckily it didn't fall down. You couldn't say he jumped OVER those heights ( and in any case he jumped 2 45 and 2 43 just once )

[@mondociaociao]

@@fotisfotis8060 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 who cares? he never jumped 2.45!

[@annetteelliott1494]

Brilliant. ...thank you.....

[@DraganChana]

Dragutin Topić, Serb from Yugoslavia at that time, was WORLD JUNIOR CHAMPION with 2,37 m !

[@aleksandaraleksovski2423]

After ECh in Split 1990 (european gold), he was never placed better than 4-th place in other big event, outdoor. Just 4 th place in 1996 (OG) & 1997 (WCh). Maybe his daughter Angelina will be much better than dad`s pretty long 22-23 yrs career.

[@piotrkaszubowski7312]

Walery Brumel, Dwight Stones, Jacek Wszoła, Artur Partyka...

[@zerosum88]

There is one Chinese high jumper Jianhua Zhu, who set world records 3 times at 2.37m, 2.38m and 2.39m in 1980s.

[@gabrielzand7993]

I don't know why but watching this is just pure satisfaction

[@omnivorous65]

The most impressive jumpers in the history of the sport are Holm and Sotomayor. What both were capable of borders on the freakish. Holm probably producing the highest jump ever (relative to body height) - possibly in the history of mankind - and Sotomayor clearing 2.45, which simply looks impossibly high.

[@MotionAthlete]

For real, and I suggest to see some of the best jumps of Franklin Jacobs... The difference between his height and the bar is the same as Holm !

[@mdrazibulofficial]

Very nice play collection.I Will always supported you.👍👍👍👍👍

[@lexsoft3969]

Can you mention other top athletes who use straddle technique beside Jaschenko : from 1980s to now ? I have seen others, but don't remember who ? Dietmar Moegenburg, Rudolf Povartnitsyn ?

[@zizilatuile5939]

Franck Verzy : 2,32 m in London 1983 or 1984. From France. Though he was injuried at knee at age 17 juste after having jumped 2,12 m , in 1978.

[@giannapinotta7748]

Yashenko...unbelievable...for me is the best, i can't imagine what he could do with the actual tecnique

[@romssogabita9678]

Preach

[@user-ot5wi5nu3i]

You're right 💯🤗🤗🤗

[@MarkJohnson-zy4fd]

I don’t know what you mean by “actual technique” but believe Yashchenko is much better than he has been given credit for.

[@toriandeane8285]

I would love to learn the straddle technique from someone who's accustomed to using it in competition

[@ThePmfan]

Nice list. Now I suggest making one using era adjusted greatness. The top couple won't change but Brumel and Thomas will be in the top group.

[@trebornamwik2462]

then ad to that highest per personal hight. and what do you get?

[@pnutbutrncrackers]

I think I'm most impressed with #6.

[@abdulrahmanalriyami6922]

Who remembers this song in fifa?

[@Poppageno]

9 of these guys would be nothing without Dick Fosbury. This list is only based on height not on contribution. Heck in 1968 I scissor kicked 5' in High School and I was only 5'9". These guys are so tall they are not jumping much over their own height. Brumel was 6'1" and jumped to 7'4" WITHOUT the flop!

[@buliaoqing]

Should Jianhua Zhu be in this list, who broke the WR 3 times?

[@VanessaSGamingParadise]

would straddle be allowed in olympics?

I feel like that first dude could have been one of the best high jumpers if he used the flop technique and didnt stop at 20

[@nicholasschroeder3678]

Very hard not to wonder about that. Somehow I find the straddle more of a pure jump, like the way some ancient athletic person would leap over something. Who's going to go over a wall so that they land on their back or neck on the other side?

[@david2804me]

Hmmm... the list is predictable which is understandable given that it is based on best performances which are a matter of record. However, it is tempting to put Holm higher up the list just because he jumped a height above his own head greater than any other athlete has ever achieved...59 cm. In comparison, Sotomayor, who was much taller than Holm, only managed 52cm above his own head. Perhaps there is an argument for a new list based on who jumped the greatest height above their own head....this is a similar notion to having weight categories in boxing and weightlifting. PS. I am not Swedish in case you ask hehe.

[@spinalc0rds]

until someone else comes or barshim, bondarenko and drouin get rid of their injuries, sotomayor is still safe as number 1
