Not many people are aware that a new world record has been set for the HIGH JUMP from a KNEELING position.
The record (1.75 metres) was set yesterday on a beach near Coffs Harbour in N.S.W, Australia ...
This photograph below was unfortunately taken just a split second before the jump, but it does give you an idea as to how it was achieved.

Due to shortages and cutbacks the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched off.

...I hope that the premium for the record was equally divided between the athlete and coach

I suppose this could be moved to another section in the forum.
Maybe one that deals with landing strips?!

Good idea mate. The shorter landing strip requires full flaps..
