Is there verifiable information on techniques used in jumps?


I was thinking that it would be great to have top5/top10 (depending on data available) lists of jumps in each of different techniques (Scissors, Eastern cut-off, Straddle, Western roll) to compare techniques and to complement fosbury flop list (all time 25). This would be interesting because there was no other athletics discipline that went through so much evolution.

Split history in jumping technique era's

Perhaps it's an idea to split the history paragraph into the different jumping technique era's, such as underneath (not sure whether the years are correct, though roughly they are.):

  • Beginnings (1790 - 1875) --> two legged lift over bar
  • Basic Scissors (1875 - 1892) --> standing jump and straight run-up
  • Eastern Cut-off scissors (1892 - 1912) --> scissors with rotation
  • Western Roll (1912 - 1930) --> early straddle technique
  • Straddle (1930 - 1960) --> basic straddle technique
  • Dive Straddle (1960 - 1978) --> advanced straddle technique
  • Fosburry Flop (1968 - current) --> the currently most common technique used

Although there are still some jumpers using the Straddle technique, it's safe to say that this technique has become extinct. Therefore, it's possible to give a 'from - to date' to the technique. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.156.152.62 (talk) 19:11, 22 December 2013‎ (UTC)[reply]

Top lists in other techniques

Is there verifiable information on techniques used in jumps?

I was thinking that it would be great to have top5/top10 (depending on data available) lists of jumps in each of different techniques (Scissors, Eastern cut-off, Straddle, Western roll; there is also "somersaulting high jump" however the technique of jumping off of two feet is banned so it's hard to pull it off) to compare techniques and to complement fosbury flop list (all time 25).

If there is some reliable source which has compiled such lists, why not add them in a new section - even if it is limited to the best result with each technique. Canada Jack (talk)

Somersaulting in high jump
