At the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, Dick Fosbury won the Gold Medal in the men’s high jump. 

He did it by jumping an Olympic record 2.24 meters or 7 feet, four inches. 

What was remarkable about his accomplishment wasn’t the height he jumped, but how it did it.

He didn’t just win a gold medal, he revolutionized the sport of high jumping.
