high jump
High jump is a discipline in athletics in which an athlete tries to achieve the greatest possible height while jumping over a bar. The bar is four meters long and placed on two stands so that it falls down when you touch it lightly. The high jump is held as an individual discipline and as a sub-discipline of all-around competitions such as the heptathlon and the decathlon .
In the course of time, the jumping technique has been changed again and again, so that you can now jump much greater heights than your own body size. The best men reach over 2.40 meters (world record: 2.45 m by Javier Sotomayor on July 27, 1993), the best women over 2.05 meters (world record: 2.09 m by Stefka Kostadinowa 1987). The high jump has been an Olympic discipline for men since 1896 and for women since 1928 . From 1900 to 1912 , a standing vault competition was also held at the Olympic Games .
history
The high jump was not yet a discipline of the ancient Olympic Games , but has been handed down as a competition of the Celts . In England there were high jump competitions from the middle of the 19th century. Women's competitions were first held in the United States in 1895 . At the Olympic Games, the high jump has been part of the program for men since the first games in 1896 , and for women since 1928 (the first games with women in athletic disciplines).
As early as 1865, the rules that are valid up to the present day were formulated for competitions in England, according to which three attempts are allowed for each height, after a failed attempt no lower height may be tried and one must jump off with one foot.
Since 1925 the contact surfaces for the lath have to face each other, so that a mere touch leads to tearing. Up until 1936 it was stipulated that the feet must be the first part of the body to cross the bar. Nowadays you cross the bar head first.

techniques
There are various techniques for crossing the bar. However, it is imperative that you only jump off with one leg.
The oldest technique in high jump is the frontal squat . You just walk towards the bar and jump off powerfully. The arms and the talus are pulled upwards (like in a crouch). Then pull your legs, which are still crouched, towards your body. After crossing the bar, you landed feet first on the mat. The height you have reached is by no means comparable to the height you reach on the Fosbury flop , as the center of gravity is higher than the bar with this technique.
For a long time, the dominant feature was the shear jump , in which the jumper crossed the bar with an upright torso, with the leg closest to the bar being thrown straight up to cross the bar. The shear crack was first shown by William Page ( USA ) in 1874.
It was replaced by the roll jump and later the tome or straddle , in which the jumper crosses the bar on his stomach. The talus is the leg closest to the crossbar, while the swinging leg describes an arc up over the crossbar. In the highest perfection, as a dipping roll, it is almost equal to the now common flop. The last significant straddle jumper was the Russian Vladimir Yashchenko , who started for the USSR , who set world records in 1977 and 1978 with 2.33 m, 2.34 m and (in the hall, therefore unofficial) 2.35 m. The first 2-meter jumper, Rosemarie Ackermann , also used the straddle.
After soft mats were laid behind the bar, it was possible to develop other methods. The method currently practiced was developed by the American Dick Fosbury , who won gold with it at the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City . Ten years earlier it was Fritz Pingl who presented this type of jump at the Austrian athletics championships for the first time. However, it did not attract international attention, as Fritz Pingl never took part in international championships. The jumper runs a curve when approaching, turns his trunk when jumping or in the climbing phase and crosses the bar backwards. With the flop, Ulrike Meyfarth became a surprise Olympic champion in 1972 at the age of 16.
In the case of the flop, a distinction is made between the "speed flop", in which the jumper jumps off from a high starting speed, and the "power flop", in which the jumper gains more altitude from jumping. The jump is flatter with the Speedflop (45 to 55 °) with the Powerflop steeper (55 to 65 °). The flight parabola is consequently flatter and longer for the speed flop, and steeper and shorter for the power flop. Depending on their disposition, each jumper looks for his or her own optimal parameters (approach speed, jump angle, crossing behavior).
The flop style finally caught on with all leading jumpers after 1980. Further techniques are parallel back roll jump and shear-sweep jump.
Competition Regulations
The starting height and the gradients (at least two centimeters) for the high jump will be announced before the competition, and each athlete must state his entry height. Each athlete is entitled to three attempts per round - i.e. height. However, he does not have to carry out the three attempts above this height. B. after two failed attempts to forego the third attempt, which means that he must perform this third attempt at the next altitude. In this case, he has only one attempt above this height. After three consecutive unsuccessful attempts - regardless of the jump height - he has no right to further jumps. If an athlete renounces one height, he may only try the next one again. If there is only one athlete left in the competition and he has won it, he can determine the further increases in altitude himself.
All jump heights are measured in whole centimeters, whereby the upper edge of the bar is decisive. Since the staff sags slightly (a maximum of two centimeters is allowed), the center of the staff is measured exactly perpendicular to the floor.
The following facts are assessed as a failed attempt (the decision on this is made by the high jump chairman):
- The athlete does not jump off one foot.
- The athlete touches the bar during the jump in such a way that it does not remain on the supports (if the bar is blown off the trailers by a gust of wind, this is not a failed attempt - if it lies down after being touched, this is not a failed attempt).
- A white line is marked vertically under the jump bar on the side and between the posts, the front edge of which exactly matches the front edge of the jump bar. If the athlete touches this line, the floor behind it or the mat with any part of his body before crossing the bar, this is to be assessed as a failed attempt.
- The test time must not be exceeded. With more than three competitors it is one minute, with two or three athletes one and a half minutes; if there is only one athlete left in the competition, he may take a maximum of three minutes for his attempt. If an athlete has to start the next attempt immediately because of a failed attempt, he has a max. 2 minutes available.
Determination of ranking / tie / playoff
The winner is the athlete with the highest jumped height. In the event of a tie, the athlete with the lower number of attempts over the last jumped height is better placed. If there is still a tie, the total number of unsuccessful attempts including the last amount skipped is determined. The athlete with the lower number is better placed.
For a better understanding, here is a stylized competition protocol (O = valid, X = failed attempt, - = waived, above mentioned = no valid attempt):
athlete | 1.87 | 1.90 | 1.93 | 1.96 | 1.99 | 2.02 | Verse. | Wrong | height | space |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
A. | - | - | XO | XO | XO | XXX | 2 | 3 | 1.99 | 1 |
B. | O | - | O | O | XXX | 1 | 0 | 1.96 | 3 | |
C. | O | - | XO | XO | X-- | XX | 2 | 2 | 1.96 | 4th |
D. | - | XO | O | XXO | XXO | XXX | 3 | 5 | 1.99 | 2 |
E. | - | - | - | XXX | o. g. V. |
If all these criteria are taken into account, if there is still a tie in first place, there is a playoff. If the tie does not affect first place, the athletes are tied.
The playoff is as follows:
The equal competitors make another attempt over the next height after the successfully jumped height. If they all make it, the bar is raised two centimeters; if they all tear, it is lowered two centimeters. Until a decision is made, only one attempt is made over each height.
The following example shows the playoff between the two leaders of a competition:
athlete | 1.87 | 1.90 | 1.93 | 1.96 | 1.99 | 2.02 | 2.05 | Verse. | Wrong | height | 2.02 | 2.00 | 2.02 | 2.04 | height | space |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
A. | - | - | O | XO | XO | XXX | 2 | 2 | 1.99 | X | O | O | X | 2.02 | 2 | |
B. | - | XO | O | O | XO | - | XXX | 2 | 2 | 1.99 | X | O | O | O | 2.04 | 1 |
Note: In the case of German athletics competitions, the head of the competition determines whether there is a playoff (IWR R 181.8)

*: Best performance was canceled as an open-air world and European record. This best performance was the first indoor world record, which was also ratified as an outdoor world record. This was made possible by a rule that existed from 1988 to 1989. Indoor records could be ratified as outdoor records if they were achieved under conditions comparable to those in an outdoor stadium. Individually, this meant no banked turns, no wooden floors or wooden running tracks. Some spectators at the meeting at which this top performance was set complained that the flexible parquet flooring under the synthetic jump area gave Thränhardt an unfair advantage. An appraisal of the system commissioned by the IAAF confirmed that it was in compliance with the rules. Nonetheless, this best was canceled as an outdoor world record in 1991. Furthermore, this best performance is valid as a former indoor world record and current indoor European record.
