t-and-f: the highest straddle ever

2003-01-29 Thread ghill
The other day I cited Vladimir Yashchenko's 7-8 (2.34) as the last straddle WR, but I had a nagging thought in the back of my mind that he had gone higher, and indeed he did. Indoor WR of 7-8 1/2 (2.35), also in '78.

in the discussion of styles used by different high jump WR setters yesterday I noted that Pat Matzdorf (7-6 1/4 in '71) had used a slightly different technique, but I wasn't sure of the name. bent-leg straddle is what he called it. For a perfect illustration thereof, go to the TFN website, check
