Dick Fosbury (RIP), winner of the gold medal in Mexico 68, was a pioneer in the current technique of high jump. The Portland, Oregon native created the ‘Fosbury Flop’ by jumping backwards over the bar, changing his centre of gravity and forever revolutionising athletics. Fosbury set a new Olympic record with a jump of 2.24 metres at the 1968 Games.

Jordan Díaz, Pedro Pichardo and Andy Díaz Hernández took home the respective medals in the men's triple jump.

Chebet, Batocletti and Hassan were the winners of the women's 10,000m.

Top athletes wore shoes made in 1956 and 1957, with soles up to five centimetres high. Yuriy Stepanov of the Soviet Union cleared what was then a world record height of 2.16 m in 1957 in such shoes, but the IAAF banned these shoes the following year. Data from the FMAA.

Less than an hour before the start of the athletics categories, this is how the Stade de France looks.

The athletes are already preparing for the competition at the Stade de France. They are doing pre-competition exercises for this afternoon's match.

The second technique was by George Horine and was called "costal roller" which was a kind of roller, since the body was turned over the bar, but it was done backwards. Horine was the first athlete to exceed two meters.

The athletes have arrived at the Stade de France for the High Jump final. Who will take the gold? 

The first jumpers crossed the bar with the so-called scissors style, invented by the Frenchman Lewden. The technique consisted of approaching the bar with a scissors movement with their legs, in which they first passed one leg and then the other. 

It is evident that high jumping has evolved over the years. The technique used in the past is totally different from what is practiced today. There used to be two techniques in high jumping, with impulse and without impulse.
