Unbelievable air! When done right, the hang technique is fun to watch. I was never able to get much out of that technique; strictly a hitch-kick jumper.
I don' know why a long jumper and high jumper would concern themselves with penultimate step approach technology. The school of high jumpers that originated this entry into the take-off mechanism do not utilize it any longer.
My 90 year old father just told me he followed George Roubanis while he was in Greece as he was very famous and Greeks were very proud. Then when my father immigrated to the US in 1955 he said George Roubanis happened to be his bunk mate on the Queen Frederica.
Nope because she's running when she takes that first jump so she has a lot more momentum in that jump and uses her legs to basically run in the air so she lands on the same left foot then for her last jump she uses her right.
I am a long-time athletics fan in Japan. I think Mexico Olympic changed athletics atmosphere. Especially in long jump. But one athlete bravely stood up. In 1979 , Mr. Myriricks records 8m 52. This record and his dynamic jump are covered widely in Japanese media. Since this news I always watch his jump. Fortunately Mr. Myriricks often came Japan . So I enjoyed his dynamic jump completely.
Once a jumper leaves the ground they cannot propel their body higher! When a jumper enters the flight phase of the last step with proper forward movement of the pelvic region they automatically enter the last step touchdown phase with proper \ backward body alignment from take-off foot to head (backslash illustrates the backward body alignment at last step touchdown). The jumper’s alignment and previous approach momentum forcefully lifts them vertically after last step foot placement. The take-off momentum and vertical lift effectiveness depends on the motor (technique proficiency) and momentum (speed and force) development of the athlete. The athlete in this example makes crude use of this very important specialized high jump take-off exercise, though! I apologize for the late response. I rarely review my comment responses. I have received many responses from my postings. Good luck! @@VikashSinghGusain776
This is an easy mechanics problem. The jumper could not convert the horizontal momentum developed in an 8 and 10 step approach without the opposing centripetal force of a curved entry into the take-off mechanism. The jumper also exhibits minimal vertical rotation following the take-off mechanism. Even with curved entries into the take-off mechanism, I have seen jumper's jump and touchdown without any vertical rotation.
I don’t even have to record these jumps with an aerospace hi-tech camera. It is evident to the trained eye that these imitational exercises are useless in terms of the backward dive entry into the take-off mechanism. The vertical rotation during the take-off mechanism and alignment crossing the plane of the crossbar are also completely different.
