You mentioned how he quit basketball due to a dispute with his coach, but also that he has a doppelganger with the same name, height, build, face, etc who is a basketball player... this guy literally split the reality where he quit from the one he didn't and just lives both now.

@@highmedic2351at the end of this video he mentions his doppelgänger. And it’s kind of funny cause the jumper used to play basketball and his doppelgänger is a basketball player. Wahtch the video till the end then you will get it :D

Imagine being trained and working your ass off for years only to be beat by some random dude who entered your section of the competition by accident And seeing him again years later, losing his uniform and but still winning the Olympics. Had to be wild

The first time I saw this guy jump in 2012, I thought he looked like a basketball player competing against high jumpers. His chest and shoulder definition looked like no jumper I'd ever seen at the Olympics, and it looked like he relied on his upper body muscles more than a typical jumper, like he was loading up for a slam dunk

Great video! But as a side note - for the majority of high jumpers, their indoor results are usually slightly better than the outdoor ones. This has nothig to do with spikes, but more so with the weather and all other conditions being under control. Same goes for pole vault.

We can easily be misled or manipulated by statistics. All depends on how someone words or reports them. My favourite in the 90s was a toothpaste commercial that stated “2 out of 3 dentist agree, that “insert brand” toothpaste is the most effective”. What they don’t mention is that in their legitimate study, 20 dentist’s were asked and only 3 backed the product. So they just shrunk the study group down from 20 to the 3 that include the 2 that agree. They’re not lying…just purposely leaving out important information.
