Men's hj worse than ever. Even in 83' Avdeyenko and one other jumper cleared 2.32 To have only one jumper clear this height 22 years later is appalling. I'm...
True, but Stefan Holm was interviewed and said that it seemed like all of the jumpers were in a funk that day. He said that he felt that he had absolutely no...
Hi Edward You cant blame the conditions. It was dry. It wasn't particularly windy (slight headwind if you look at the wind indicators) and one of the...

Very interesting points. You and Darrell both make them. It was facinating for me to see Tianna Madison's winning jump.(There was clearly rain on the runway...
Edward, let's briefly explore the differences between the long jump and high jump. 1) The run-up in the long jump is straight, the approach in the high jump is...
I saw many technical shortcomings thet prevented them to jump over 2.32. Never seen so many shortcomings of so many jumpers in the same mondial meet. Dwight...
Perhaps there is some confusion on my post. I was only responding to a post concerning why the long jumpers seemed to have little trouble dealing with their...

Do any top jumpers out there [Nieto, Hemmingway, Stones etc] fancy posting a typical weeks training log please? Alex. PS: Denis, I'd be interested to hear from...
Alex, thanks for asking. I've actually considered this idea as a possible promotion for the training programs I market. Next season's build-up phase is still a...

On many tracks 6mm is the longest allowed spike length, but very often highjumpers and javelinthrowers arre allowed to have 8mm. I use 8mm on the right side...
Hemmingway has been plagued by ankle problems this season and had a bit of illness as well. On his first warm up jump at the World Championships he tweaked...
Hi Denis, ... I don't remember, I definitely saw too few jumps! But what I saw contained too many flaws for that level. By the way, the jump of Holm over 2.29...
