High Jump is a Track and Field Event that involves athletes jumping over a horizontal bar at progressively higher heights without knocking it down. It requires lower body strength, speed, agility, and technique. As part of Athletics in the Olympic Games, High Jump is a test of athletic prowess, determination, and skill. Competitors approach the bar from a short distance and use a combination of a run-up and a jump to clear it, often using a Fosbury Flop technique where they arch their back over the bar. The winner is the athlete who clears the highest height.
