To put this in perspective, most homes have 8 ft ceilings.
Absolutely insane
Witness the amazing effect of PEDs. Just like every other WR from that era.
Good job. Except noone gives a shit about the olympics now or in 1993
I love seeing his pure determination before the jump, followed by sheer joy after breaking the record. Incredible!
If this were on NBC today, it would have cut to commercial right before he jumped
Sometimes I strain myself climbing into bed.
Have they changed how the bar is attached in modern games? That’s wobbling so much I have no idea how it hasn’t fallen off
Bring me a higher love
🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺
Imagine if he’d have bumped his head on the bar on the way back under
My PB is 1,70m and i struggled with that, ive got no clue how you would do this
Every attempt at the record since has been a flop
Holy shit! I can barely do that on the bed

Hitoshi Matsumoto broke this record with 2.50m. Definitely, uh legit as you can see…. Nothing suspicious about this!
And he did it with ease too. Did he ever try and go higher does anyone know?
Dude jumped like he had on OMD gear.
How the fuck did he go up that much?
In high school, I managed 6′ 1/2″ as my best ever. I never thought anyone would clear 8′.
