RIP, Dick Fosbury. inventor of the Fosbury Flop His claim to fame was that he revoluntionized the high jump, utilizing the "Fosbury Flop" to win the Olympic gold, set an Olympic record, and take aim at the world record in the high jump. before Fosbury Flop technique, the straddle technique was the generally accepted one.
I wouldn't want to do a Fosbury Flop onto that hard dirt, either. Kenyan Kick for me, all the way. I mean, we're talking high jumping, not Turkish cliff diving ...
