I have seen these clips many times in the last years, and they always almost put tears in my eyes. Combination of the music and this rare material from this legendary high jumper.

[@billforr70]

Thank you Peyresourde for these rare and very moving videos. He was an amazing athlete and the video of his training back at the 70's has nothing to do with what nowadays champions do. He was a true talented kid but also very unlucky. He didn't deserve that end and I still can't believe that this blessed young man that was full of health died at the age of 40.

[@vladimirdobrotvorskiy4789]

Был очень хорошими человеком

[@cyberjoerg9331]

So wonderful and so tragic at the same time, I allways have tears in my eyes when I watch this. To see these incredible jumps and how the people received him in his hometown, this good looking young man, where these people and his parents are just proud of their big hero without this unpleasant political propaganda of that time. And just like a shooting star, his successful time has suddenly gone, he can not gain a foothold in normal patterns of life, drowns in alcohol and dies so young.

Какая судьба , талантище ,сплошная не везуха и умер в 40лет .Царствие ему небесное вечный покой

[@solaniemi]

Avevi un futuro davanti a te. Nessuno come te. Ultimo dei grandi ventristi . Invece la vita ti è stata avversa. Eri più forte del fosbury. Potevi competere per 10 anni senza avere avversari. Ultimo tuo salto il 30 novembre del 99,quello verso il cielo.

how does he do it man

[@СашаСимшов]

По технике с Брумелем заметна разница Жаль что оба закончили досрочно Не дореализованный потенциал

[@cirosuperiore]

@catmartinez567 NO. the western role is different. with the straddle the shoulders are paralle to the bar and u usually land on your back. with the WR the shoulders are perpendicular to the bar at the highest point and you land on your four...the WR was used when the landing pit was the same as the long jump pit, made of sand and sawdust. and you had to land in a way you did not hurt yourself.

[@shadowcross321]

OMG! how did he progress from 1.7 to 2.03 in 1 year? o.O

[@thethirdman225]

I once coached a boy who went from 1.55 to 1.85 in a single day. These things happen from time to time. It depends on the athlete, their ability and attitude and sometimes a word of advice that suddenly changes things.

I was a punk high jumper in high school when he was the world "rival" of the Americans....I now see. He was just like me.Short shorts, shaggy hair, crappy training techniques, and a desire to fly. God love'm. Flop or straddle, it's still flying...Peace

[@matthiasprenzlau]

wonderful at 1:52

[@irinmar]

Volodya's lot in life was an amazing combination of sheer talent, good looks, and bad luck. If not for his career-ending injury, he might have jumped 2.50. His technique was kinda crappy, though. He probably needed a faster approach and a more refined technique of clearing the bar. Brumel had a better technique overall but Yashchenko was taller and had more talent overall. Brumel also had very bad luck with the motorcycle crash. It's sad that Yashchenko didn't get to compete at the Olympics.

[@johnhunter4395]

I have to disagree with you regarding your assessment that Yashchenko had more talent than Brumel. As far as the straddle technique is concerned Brumel was the standard to which all others aspired. Yashchenko was taller and had superior conditions thus enabling him to surpass Brumel's world record jump but his technique would have ultimately limited his ability to jump much beyond 2.35. Brumel was the best ever Sotomayer could NEVER have jumped 2.27 using the straddle off dirt into a sawdust pit.

[@mr.sinjin-smyth]

@@johnhunter4395 Just unfortunate no matter how one looks at it. Both Brumel and Yaschenko never got to achieve full potential due to horrible accidents and injuries. It just was meant for the Fosbury style to take over and succeed. That's just life.

[@Peyresourde]

@cirosuperiore: YES he was the last, therefore we admire him.

[@Peyresourde]

@rembrandao Yashchenko had liver cirrhosis due to alcohol, and the cirrhosis was the cause for liver cancer

ヤシチェンコはなぜ死んでしまったのか。なにがあったのか？知りたい。

[@АндрейБойко-в7ц]

Після травми , декілька невдачних операцій . С початку дві не вдачних операції в СССР потім ,третя операція вдачна в Швейцарії . Йому зробили на коліні операцію і поставили замість розірваних зв'язок , зв'язки із лавсану . Він мені казав що ходити , бігати він може ....Но при відштовхування зникли почуття . Причина поганої хірургічного втручання , яке робилося в Москві . В Швейцарії йому сказали що ці дві операції , були зроблені некваліфіковано ....І як би вони одразу звернулися до Швейцарії , було б все добре . Це історію я знаю з його слів ... А далі все пішло як кажуть , вже все не так .....

[@rembrandao]

@cirosuperiore He died because of alcohol, not of cancer.

[@thethirdman225]

He died of cancer caused by cirrhosis which was caused by alcohol.

[@hansdekorver7365]

@@thethirdman225 It seems he died from cirrhosis ( and not cancer )
