What exactly is high jump?

High jump is one 26 events in the sport of athletics (track and field). You run and then jump (off one foot) over a horizontal bar placed at measured heights, landing on a crash mat. High jump is famous for the Fosbury flop, where you go backwards over the bar.

Similar to pole vault (but without the pole!) high jump athletes are allowed three attempts to clear each height. The winner is the person who clears the highest bar. When two or more athletes finish on the same bar, the winner is the person with the least failures.

Why try it?

Testimonials

"Having been coached and interacted with many different jumps coaches, Grant's approach is rivalled by very few. His holistic, personal and research-based coaching allows for constant learning from both himself and those he coaches.

 

Most importantly, however, he ensures enjoyment from training which is essential for both mind and body when it comes to motivation and improvement in the sport."

Tom Hewes, British Indoor High Jump Champion 2024
