    The high jump event originated in Scotland in the 19th century and was added to the Olympics in 1896 for men and 1928 for women. Techniques have evolved over time from straight-on and scissor approaches to the Fosbury Flop technique used today where athletes jump back-first over the bar. The rules require athletes to take off from one foot and not touch the bar or ground before clearing the height. Competitions eliminate athletes after three consecutive missed jumps at increasing heights, with the winner clearing the greatest height.

    History

    High jump contests were popular in Scotland in the early 19th century, and the
    event was incorporated into the first modern Olympics Games in 1896 for men.
    Women made their Olympic high jump debut in 1928. Of the field events, the
    high jump has perhaps undergone the most radical changes of technique.
    The first recorded high jump event took place in Scotland in the 19th century.
    Early jumpers used either an elaborate straight-on approach or a scissors
    technique. In later years, the bar was approached diagonally, and the jumper
    threw first the inside leg and then the other over the bar in a scissoring motion
    The Eastern Cut-off, Western Roll and Straddle are methods that have been
    previously used by the world’s elite. However, the Fosbury Flop, which
    involves going over with the jumper's back to the bar, popularised by the 1968
    Olympic champion Dick Fosbury, is now almost exclusively the technique
    adopted by all the top high jumpers.
    Since its introduction to modern Olympics in 1896, the popularity and demand
    of this game by different nations grew exponentially. Many Asian and non-
    Asian countries have their active participation in this category of game. List of
    some of the major dominating Asian countries includes China, Qatar, Japan,
    India, Kazakhstan, Sri Lanka, etc

    Rules of High Jump


    The rules set for the high jump by World Athletics are Technical Rules.
    Jumpers must take off from one foot. A jump is considered a failure if the
    jumper dislodges the bar, touches the ground, or breaks the plane of the near
    edge of the bar before clearance.
    Competitors may begin jumping at any height announced by the chief judge, or
    may pass at their own discretion. Most competitions state that three consecutive
    missed jumps, at any height or combination of heights, will eliminate the
    jumper from contention. The victory goes to the jumper who clears the greatest
    height during the final.

    Fun Facts for high jump


     The earliest record of a high jump event was in the 1800s, in Scotland.
     Some high jumpers wear spiked shoes that help maintain stability on take
    off, and make it more comfortable.
     The current high jump world records are held by Javier Sotomayor from
    Cuba, (1993) with 2.45 meters (8.03 feet) for the male record, and Stefka
    Kostadinova from Bulgaria, the female record holder, (1987) with 2.09
    meters (6.85 feet)
     The best high jumpers are thought to be tall, however, some of the most
    gifted high jumpers in history were not. For instance, Stefan Holm is the
    most famous short high jumper with a height of 5 ft 11 in (1.8 m).
     From 1900 to 1912, the standing high jump competition was part of the
    Olympic games. It is accomplished in the same manner as a high jump,
    but there is no run-up, and the athlete must stand still and jump with both
    feet together.

    leg at a time.
