Bob Seagren actually won Pole Vault gold not High Jump.

He broke the high jump record by 10 feet!

You heard there was a new technique used in the Mexico City high jump that revolutionized the event. Obviously it was using a pole.

Fosbury changed the high jump forever that year and Beamon jumped off the scale of the fancy measuring equipment they installed.

I was eleven at the time. The pole vault final was the most thrilling piece of track'n'field I'd ever seen. Nice to see the high points (pun intended) now, 54 years later.

Shocking that they call the pole vault the High Jump.

I didn’t know you were allowed to use a pole in high jump 🤔

With the points he had accumulated he wins the gold medal? Gee, I didn't know points were awarded for the pole vault.

So Bob Seagren jumped higher than Dick Fosbury in Mexico City?

Hey Olympics, fix this title.

Hay alguien en México que tuvo la rara oportunidad de ser filmado en una película de los juegos olímpicos y todo lo que hace es gritar "¡ERES UN INEPTOOOO!" a un árbitro.
