Looks like the technique changes along with the equipment changing. They had to land on their feet when they were just on grass. Sand pit comes in and now they don't necessarily need to land perfectly on their feet, so they can go more horizontal/higher and land with a fall. Then with the inclusion of full on padded mats, fosbury decides he might as well land on his back since it'll be a cushy landing anyway.

The hip realignments of those early techniques to get over and land are very interesting. I wonder how many damaged joints after a while.

The Fosbury Flop only became viable when they started using crash mats instead of sawdust

"Fosbury flop is now the only way to fly" (said in an another video specifically on him) Correctly said!!! Changed the course of high jump forever.

What a beautiful graceful sport.

The big mat makes it totally different.

is that as high as Javier Sotomayor jumped at the olympics when Cuba let him compete. By this video you wouldnt imagine he is still the world record holder 28yrs later.

This is a priceless video.

They said it will be flosbury flop but the the man revolutionised the high jump

Seeing how much we've changed the past century really shows how fast everything's changing.

Such a beautiful sport

Much changed🙌

At 1:55 Fosbury changed the World of High Jump. Notice after he did it in 1968, that was the new style.

Tokyo: When 5 words changed everything.

Amazing

Shame that some if the high jumps from 2004 isnt there.

Best thing to happen to the sport was padding the landing area.

Rouleau ventral Modifier L'athlète attaque l'obstacle latéralement en s'enroulant littéralement autour de la barre, à l'horizontale. Le problème de cette technique était le dégagement de la jambe d'appel au-dessus de la barre. Elle nécessitait des qualités de gymnaste éprouvées que seul le russe Valeriy Brumel a su porter, dans les années 1960, à leur plus haut point en établissant le record du monde à 2,28 m puis Ni Chih-Chin et Pat Matzdorf à 2,29 m. Signalons encore Vladimir Yashchenko qui, alors que le Fosbury était adopté par tous les sauteurs, s'éleva à 2,33 m le 3 juillet 1977, puis 2,34 m au cours de l'été 1978 en rouleau ventral, battant ainsi l'ancien record du monde détenu par le mythique Dwight Stones, l'homme qui franchit pour la première fois la barrière des 2,30 m. C'est avec Yashchenko que disparaîtra des tablettes des records du monde la technique du rouleau ventral
