Polevault, just about the only sport where you can start celebrating before you hit the ground

"Taking a risk" He was already bronze, in the narrators own words "A great achievement among athletes" Its the exact opposite of taking a risk He literally had nothing to lose.

@oslargotte7945 4 жыл бұрын

If he didn't raise the bar, but would clear it, he'd still be in the games, but on bronze with 3 more tries for the next height. Now he had only two that had to work.

mr.kitloin When I was running the 1500 metre, I was so behind the 2nd runner around 50 metres. I was already in bronze, but I don’t want bronze lol. I wanted silver. I really really risked going over the line and pushed myself to my limits at the last 109 metres and got silver. I did have nothing to lose, bronze isn’t an option if you are able to push.

Cry me a river, he lost, and he also lost his Olympic record, then decided to try and blame the crowd for his own shortcommings. Maybe he should not have acted all smug like he had already won the thing before Braz had made his attempt and should've focused on the competition instead.

Fun Fact: In the 2016 games, he set a new olympic record by jumping 5.98m before it was surpassed a few minutes later by Brazil's Thiago Braz da Silva at 6.03m (his new PB). Brazil took 1st in the event and France took 2nd. Honestly, for me, it was one of the highlights of the entire Games. It was incredible to watch the King and the Newcomer go head to head. They were very kind to each other as well. Amazing sportsmanship especially by Sam Kendricks (America) who came in 3rd and wholeheartedly cheered them on during every jump. Watch the clip on yt if you have the time, it's amazing 😊

6m high? Doesnt it feel strange to you that long jump record is 8.9 m

@ShreshtJain 3 жыл бұрын

Hi. Ik its been a year but heres a physicists explaination of why that maybe the case. In Long Jump and pole vault atheletes have a 40m run up, but in long jump they jump in direction of the run, meaning they use most of their momentum without any changes to its direction. But in pole vault they use their run up's momentum to a) gain a good height and b) to do work on the pole that bends and then straightens vertically during which process some work is lost as this isnt fully efficient. This may be why long jump is farther.
