Hi Weia, Hope your knee gets better. Injuries are not fun. I hurt my back jumping by planting my takeoff foot with my knee straight in 1984. This resulted in...
It is indeed interesting to start to learn jumping afresh with much more knowledge from the beginning and without all kinds of automatised technical flaws. ...
Dear Friends: I'm in my off season and have time to do some things that I have been wanting to do for a while now. I have an opportunity to make a High Jump ...

Whoa. How old is he now? I still have his 7'8 jump on my computer from Barcelona in 1992! Even if he was 20 then he'd be at least 34 by now... ... day! ... ...
