EVENT 4 - HIGH JUMP - Review

9 of the 16 competitors in this event ended with a height of 6' 11" or 6' 10". However, not all 6' 11"s or 6' 10"s are created equal. 6' 10" for Elli was a good jump, 6' 10" for Eckberg isn't, and to add insult to....um....injury - he got injuried in the process.6' 11" for Babson and Mighty was good, while 6' 11" for Nights was a poor result - as he really had several opportunities to clear 7' on his card. Regardless of the people mentioned above in a negative light - Ivanov probably suffered the most in this event. As noted on the Preview - Ivanov isn't a strong high jumpter, but the only height he cleared was his opening height.

A couple of quick notes on roll information. Gunner who won the event could have easily added another couple inches to his height. In his 7 rolls he hit the 7' 4" column 3 times and had he gone on the 8th roll would have hit it again. Had Nights attempted 7' rather than 7' 2" he would have cleared, but that was the best he was going to do. Had Kappe attempted an 8th jump he would have injured himself. Just some tidbits of information I thought you might like.
