In 1968, American high jumper Dick Fosbury introduced a new way to compete in the high jump. His new technique worked so well that he won an Olympic gold medal, and within a few years, everyone used his method of high jumping. Fosbury’s innovation isn’t the only one in the track and field world. There have been several other technique innovations in other events, which have been shown dramatically improve performance. Learn about the track and field techniques which would smash world records (if they weren’t illegal) on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
