Fosbury Flop Technique
La technique du rouleau dorsal ou Fosbury-flop prend son nom de l’athlète américain Dick Fosbury qui a épaté tout le monde et la galerie à Mexico en 1968. Il a obtenu la médaille d’or du saut en hauteur à 2,24 mètres. Depuis la fin des années 1980, c’est devenu la technique dominante. À Paris 2024, tous les athlètes sélectionnés utilisent cette technique. Il y a cependant une astuce physique qui fait du Fosbury-flop un coup de génie : le centre de gravité de l’athlète reste en dessous de la barr

The evolution from the Western Roll and Straddle to the Fosbury Flop wasn’t just about style; it was about physics. The Western Roll favored power jumpers, athletes with strong vertical force and the ability to convert that strength into lift. In this technique, the jumper drives the takeoff leg hard and stays more upright through the plant, keeping a higher center of mass over the bar path. The movement is explosive and linear, with the body traveling up and over rather than around the bar. The

@historypillz on Instagram: "In 1968, American high jumper Dick Fosbury (1947–2023) stunned the world at the Mexico City Olympics by going backwards—literally. Frustrated with traditional techniques as a teen, he invented a radical new style: curving run-up, take-off from the outside foot, arching back-first over the bar, and landing on his shoulders. Enabled by soft foam mats, the “Fosbury Flop” (named by a cheeky newspaper) faced ridicule but soared higher. At the Games, the 21-year-old cleare
