    I can never get my head around this event. Mark 2.29m on the wall and try to imagine jumping it. I'm 6 foot and I can barely get my head to that level (I'm not very fit, I admit it). Clearing it is just ridiculous.

    I think they have springs in their trainers or something.

    The high jump record holder could jump over the goals at Oakwell without touching them. Crazy.
    The long jump record holder could jump from one goalpost and land well over a meter after the second one.
