The high jump is a track and field event in which competitors must jump unaided over a horizontal bar placed at measured heights without dislodging it.


In its modern most practised format, a bar is placed between two standards with a crash mat for landing.


In the modern era, athletes run towards the bar and use the Fosbury Flopmethod of jumping, leaping head first with their back to the bar.


Since ancient times, competitors have introduced increasingly effective techniques to arrive at the current form.



The only formal requirement of the high jumper is that the takeoff of the jump be from one foot.


Many styles have evolved, including the now little-used scissors, or Eastern, method, in which the jumper clears the bar in a nearly upright position; the Western roll and straddle, with the jumper’s body face-down and parallel to the bar at the height of the jump; and a more recent backward-twisting, diving style often termed the Fosbury flop, after its first prominent exponent, the 1968 American Olympic .
