In 1968 Olympics, Fosbury Flop won which event?

A. Triple jump
B. High jump
C. Long jump
D. Pole vault
Correct Answer: B. High jump

The Fosbury Flop is a revolutionary high jump technique introduced by American athlete Dick Fosbury. He famously used this technique to win the gold medal in the high jump event at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics. This method involves approaching the bar diagonally, leaping off the outside foot, and going over the bar head-first with the back facing the bar, which was a radical departure from previous techniques.

  • Option A, "Triple jump," involves three distinct phases: a hop, a step, and a jump.
  • Option C, "Long jump," is a single horizontal jump for distance.
  • Option D, "Pole vault," involves using a long, flexible pole to clear a high bar. These events utilize entirely different techniques and equipment.
