[@lazarorivero3436]

[@peters6119]

They had an even better competition that year. I was in the stadium in New York when they both cleared 2.42m and both had attempts at a WR height of 2.46m. Barshim had one attempt that was agonizingly close. It's the only time ever that two athletes have cleared higher than 2.40 in the same competition. It was an amazing season for both of them. Barshim remains at the top 7 years later which is remarkable.

[@jigaapple23]

I'm not sure what you wrote here, but they jumped 2.28, 2.31, 2.34, 2.37, 2.40 and 2.43 Check display at 1:43 minutes

[@zigzagnemesist5074]

I don’t know how Bondarenko jumps so high, he seems so big and heavy.

[@subie1019]

He doesn’t seem that heavy, but he is heavier as compared to barshim, most probably he has stronger legs that allows him to jump higher. Also he has a height advantage over barshim, barshim is 6’3, bondarenko is 6’6

[@thethirdman225]

Bondarenko runs a different strategy from Barshim. In 2014 he rarely had more than 6 or 7 jumps in any competition, including the one he won at 2.42 against Barshim in New York. He came in at 2.25 or something. A high jumper needs to conserve energy and the best jumps are generally 5, 6, 7 & 8. This is an anaerobic issue. You need to get rid of the lactic acid and that takes time. Barshim probably had 12 jumps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/haGminiwbKuJd68&ab_channel=AthleticsVideos

[@mrtoad3582]

What's astonishing is Barshim's 2.40m was cleared by a good 10cm at least which would give him a 2.50m well above the world record and he's only 6 foot 2" in height which is relatively modest for a high jumper

[@liberalegypt]

I remember the last attempt for him he failed due to his legs not his hips that's crazy to imagine that in 2.46 👏👏

[@Bart_Allen_YT]

Sotomayor's incredible feat stands the test of time. The fact that he has leaped past the 2.40 mark a whopping twenty-four times while no one has done it more than a handful of times is astounding. Jai Guruji

[@KimPham525]

You mean 2.40m, 8 feet is 2.44m. He's the only one to have jumped 8 feet.

[@Zen.Nicola]

Sotomayor alone has jumped 2.40 on twenty-one different occasions while Barshim and Bondarenko (second and third in number of 2.40s respectively) added up to twenty, that's enough.

[@Shunarjuna]

Imagine Bondarenko with Barshim's technique.

[@Rivas21]

I didn't see exactly the detail of the Barshim's jump, but if he had a clearance at least 2 cm on the 243 cm jump, he definitely JUMPED HIGHER than Sotomayor in his world record, which pushed the rod down significantly at his 245 cm jump, although it didn't fall (which means he didn't jump 245 cm in reality, but somewhat lower).

[@tradewins]

I agree. In terms of height that was actually jumped, Barshim exceeded Sotomayor. It's just unfortunate that the bar wasn't set at or above the world record height when Barshim's jump occurred, so it's not an official records. But unofficially? Barshim is the king.

[@jiogcyihsugyiocjfdoivhphvw6821]

nope, if the bar stayed up then he cleared it. drunkard

[@HealingMusiciansLaunchcast]

When we gonna evolved to laser measurements to see how high the jump above the bar to get max readings !!?

[@paolacarboni3518]

But the point of high jump is not to reach a certain height above the ground but rather to get the bar not to fall. To focus on the maximum height and not on the bar would mean to change the sport.
