2.46m. The History of the Human Jump Limit.

День томуAn in-depth timeline of every 2.46m High Jump world record attempt.
During the 2013 & 2014 season, Barshim and Bondarenko had one of the fiercest rivalries in track and field. Jumping 2.40m on a weekly basis, and challenging the world record more times in those two years, than the other 30 years combined.

Bondarenko is a god of consistency and confidence, but only a few minutes in, and I knew the closest attempt would be from Barshim. His form is teetering on the knife's edge of what is possible and leaves no wasted space at any part of his pass over the bar. Unbelievable to see.
@alxm1271 2 місяці тому
he uses the same overarching technique to then spring the legs up that Sotomayor used in his prime. If just these two giants had competed vs each other in their primes, I guess the current WR would have been 1-2 cm higher.

La altura de 2,40 metros ha sido la barrera para distinguir a los mejores saltadores de la historia. Una barrera que actualmente han superado 5 atletas que compiten habitualmente y presentan el desafio al récord del mundo. Hasta un total de 17 veces fue superada esa barrera al aire libre por Sotomayor mientras que otros saltadores como Bondarenko o Barshim la han superado ya en 6 ocasiones o más elevando sus respectivos récords a 2,42 y 2,43 mts.

@m137o13cc 2 місяці тому
Reviewing the video, I think that Sotomayor's record is not easy to break and for a simple reason: if you carefully watch the jump, he touches the bar with the back of his body and bends the bar by at least 2 or 3 centimeters; fortunately for him the bar remains balanced and does not fall, setting the record of 2.46 meters but in reality he jumped around 2.42 - 2.43. This is my point of view.

Also very charming to see your comments of references to wirtual. Since I stopped competing in athletics I have been invested in the trackmania world and it’s a different arena of competing for greatness but so many of the aspects carry over so well. Would love to see videos on my personal favorite competitions of javelin and hammer throw.

I marvel at how many people overshadow the sporting careers of others just because they are from one country or another. Barshim, for me, is the 2nd best high jumper in the world, but we have to recognize that he has the opportunity to jump in an era of social networks that It gives him more fame and popularity but nothing to do with comparison if Javier Sotomayor, the best in the world without a doubt, had jumped in the same era of social networks as barshim, just so they can make a comparison Javier Sotomayor jumped more than 20 times above 2.40 and without counting in 2.43,2.44 and the current record 2.45.
