Question

Explain the event high jump.

Answer 1

The high jump is a track and field event where athletes have to jump over a horizontal bar set at a set height without damaging it. In the most common form today, a bar is put between two standards and a crash mat is used for landing. In the modern era, athletes run up to the bar and jump with their back to it, using the Fosbury Flop technique. Since ancient times, competitors have come up with better and better ways to get to the current form.
