Cultural Background
第三十五课 背跃式跳高
The high jump has been contested since the Olympic Games of ancient Greece. Over the centuries since, competitors have introduced increasingly more effective techniques to arrive at the current form.
In a competition, the bar is initially set at a relatively low height, and is moved upward in set increments.
