Subject: Dick Fosbury: The athlete who developed the 'Fosbury Flop' dies aged 76
Written By: Philip Eno on 03/14/23 at 12:33 pm
Dick Fosbury - the man who revolutionised the high jump in athletics - has died at the age of 76.
The American leapt backwards over the bar to win gold at the 1968 Mexico Olympics in a technique which became known as the 'Fosbury Flop' and is used by high jumpers today.
