If anyone's interested the guy in the video who pioneered this technique is New Zealand athlete Tuariki Delamere and despite a lack of experience very neaely broke the world record the first time he used it in competition - he would have broken the record had he not fallen backwards on his hands after landing, this was in 1974 and it was banned in 1975 - Delamere remains the unofficial record hilder for the somersault long jump.
His feet landed around 8.40 meters ( which would have been a world record just 6 years earlier ), falling back caused a still impressive 7.70 meters. Defeating the world #1 in that match. Achieving this after only a few weeks practice 😮 A 9+ jump is very possible with this technique.
@@nickjohnson02 no lol 😂 the technique is not precise enough to consistently get in bounds for the jump to be legal. There was a similar scandal with javelin where people would throw it like a hammer throw, but it was inconsistent and dangerous. Also why is pole vault dangerous?
@Apollo-Midnighter You will not get crippled for life lmfao. You can fall from a tree and be fine unless you land on your head or something. Now imagine actually hurting yourself doing a jump. Unless it's your first time, like ever, and you land directly on your head in a certain way on hard ground, you will not be crippled. Yes if unlucky I guess you can land on your head, but these are professionals. Football is more dangerous lol.

The IAAF doesn't want lawsuits when athletes start breaking their necks. Example: They banned the Thomas somersault in gymnastics when after many injuries, one athlete actually ended up breaking her neck and paralyzed. She died young. Elena Mukhina.
athletes shouldn't be able to sue for movements any human can reasonably make on their own that's ridiculous. if you are performing any athletic activity you should understand the risks that come with it
I'm native enough to believe, that IAAF didn't fear court cases, but just didn't want athletes to seriously hurt themselves. I get it, of there is a move that is hard and risky, but rewards with higher points or longer jump, it will become a "must" move, otherwise you aren't competitive. And if it means that there is a really big risk that young athletes cripple or kill themselves, or even highest tier athletes hurt themselves in big games, it's a smart move to ban it.
Nahhh they banned it because they big mad they can’t do it themselves so they had to eliminate the competition before the looked like huge failures for not being able to do the flip 😂

"Too dangerous" tf do you mean, there's danger in literally every sport, is it too dangerous to run in case you sprain your ankle? Are they going to start making people speedwalk up to the sand?
I maybe wrong but I think that landing so much momentum on your legs and spine is dangerous. If you look at normal jumpers the energy vectors are parallel to the ground so it isn't to bad but when you do a flip the vectors shift and direct a lot of force downwards and that is dangerous for your ankles and spine. Athletes take a lot of practice jumps outside of competition so the minimal damage would start to compound over time and lead to a lot of issues. Any sport should be done responsibly and not create cripples for amusement of others.
@@Resmundhmmm I wonder if there's an Olympic Sport where there's flips, has large marginal error to break your spine, and because of the nature of the sport, only attempts "jumps" limited per week... Has a ton of momentum on impact... Oh wait DIVING.

These techniques also prevent the body from rotating and allow for the best balance between a powerful launch and a landing with the feet as far forward as possible. Flipping doesnt require jumpers to counteract the angular momentum of their legs.

Serious question: what sort of boundary pushes are they doing? I'm watch it casually during the Olympics, but don't know the details behind the scenes.
@coolraul07 I just meant that, if they are gonna make take a stance on a sport, or a specific maneuver in a sport, illegal "because it is too dangerous", then at least have a little consistency. I still remember watching Sergey Bubka absolutely destroying World Pole Vault Records until he became so good, the only real competition he had was... himself. He was so good that it was a forgone conclusion that he would win, so the only real tension from the crowd was "will he break his own World Record again?!?" But the point is, he was clearing 19 and a half feet. This was previously thought to be impossible... until he then cleared 20 feet. Now, a flip into the sand is one thing. Launching yourself 20 feet into the air with a bendable (and very breakbale) synthetic fiber pole, is on a totally different level. There have been some very serious accidents in that sport. You can actually find some of the worst crashes right here on CZcams. Not to mention, the technology of the Pole is constantly being improved upon. The IAAF doesn't seem too concerned with that.

That was Tuariki Delamere from New Zealand at the 1974 Commonwealth games. He later went on to be elected to parliament and became Minister of Customs for a term.
I was a 19 foot long jumper in HS (much better in hurdles) back in the 1970s and the year I graduated I tried this technique at a summer AAU meet and jumped 21 feet. The official running the event told me that the technique was under review by the IAAF and would probably soon be banned, but counted my jump in the competition. It turned out he was right, but that was my last track and field meet anyway.
The Greeks back in the day, used to use heavy weights and thrown them forward on takeoff then throw them behind them. Sometimes they would fly far enough to break a leg ...
I’ve heard the opposite, that front flips are more dangerous because of the likelihood that you will land on some portion of your spine if you under rotate. A backflip is most likely to result in falling on your front, which can hurt, but won’t result in long term damage, while side flips, have pretty low risk over all.
Life is dangerous so don't do anything adventurous? As a young teen I did the long jump, using some techniques that I learned. This was great fun for a young teenager!
@ndahiya3730 all of those sports also has rules and regulations to limit the dangers of the sports though. For example F1cars have added weight in roll structures, it makes the car slower but its regulations to keep the drivers safe and lower death tolls.
The techniques are to carry as much momentum as possible. A front flip doesnt help you jump farther since you have to slam both feet at the take off which is effective for vertical jumps but not horizontal jumping. So yes it was banned for safety reasons.
The person formerly known as Bruce Jenner was the first track star I saw do this in the long jump!! An absolute legend from day one of touching the track!!! Gone but not forgotten hahaha
I feel like that shit could blow your knees apart if you did it wrong or even if you did it right and got unlucky. probably good they banned it to be honest otherwise athletes would feel pressured to attempt it just to compete at the top. take a look at whats going on with baseball rn. catchers getting their arms and hands crushed by bats because someone realized that standing closer to the plate can make the umpire call strikes that could have otherwise been a ball.

The man who employed his research to develop the technique of the somersault for his long jump was New Zealand Māori athlete Tuariki Delamere. Officials banned the technique only because they had never considered such a technique let alone seen a somersault in an international long jump competition.

@D_zohan I love motorsports. Group B rally from the 80s is the prime example. Was it dangerous? Absolutely. Was technologically innovating to the max, yes. It was the golden era of rally racing
@@D_zohanwhen the peak level is reached there is nothing more to do. If innovation could be continuous we would end up with cars at 1000mph wich is obviously impossible
@@D_zohanbut I admit it is less fun to watch
Pole Vaulting, Javelin Toss, Gymnastics, Hurdling - I sleep
Running and flipping into soft sand - Real Shit
I like listening to people that know what they are talking about
IAAF: Bans the "Flip Technique" because it is "too dangerous"
Also IAAF: Lets push the boundaries on the Pole Vault!
Serious question: what sort of boundary pushes are they doing? I'm watch it casually during the Olympics, but don't know the details behind the scenes.
@coolraul07 I just meant that, if they are gonna make take a stance on a sport, or a specific maneuver in a sport, illegal "because it is too dangerous", then at least have a little consistency.
I still remember watching Sergey Bubka absolutely destroying World Pole Vault Records until he became so good, the only real competition he had was... himself. He was so good that it was a forgone conclusion that he would win, so the only real tension from the crowd was "will he break his own World Record again?!?"
But the point is, he was clearing 19 and a half feet. This was previously thought to be impossible... until he then cleared 20 feet.
Now, a flip into the sand is one thing.
Launching yourself 20 feet into the air with a bendable (and very breakbale) synthetic fiber pole, is on a totally different level.
There have been some very serious accidents in that sport.
You can actually find some of the worst crashes right here on CZcams.
Not to mention, the technology of the Pole is constantly being improved upon. The IAAF doesn't seem too concerned with that.
@@Will-fk2dkit's two very different sports and comparing them isn't very wise
@@Atomic_Pinneaple Is it reading comprehension that you have trouble with? Or is it sarcasm that gives you such difficulties?
Are you high?
Maybe the internet isn't for you. I would suggest staying off for a while. This isn't the place for you.
If you can't make the connection, then that is on YOU.
Please don't comment on what is or is not wise anymore. It isn't wise.
That would’ve made the long jump the dopest event in Olympics.
It would have just turned into a farthest frontflip competition, which isn't long jump anymore.
That was Tuariki Delamere from New Zealand at the 1974 Commonwealth games. He later went on to be elected to parliament and became Minister of Customs for a term.
I was a 19 foot long jumper in HS (much better in hurdles) back in the 1970s and the year I graduated I tried this technique at a summer AAU meet and jumped 21 feet. The official running the event told me that the technique was under review by the IAAF and would probably soon be banned, but counted my jump in the competition. It turned out he was right, but that was my last track and field meet anyway.
❌ Too dangerous
✅ Skill issue
It's more efficient. And looks good 👌
They bamned his style but he will always be remembered as the last guy to do it lol still a legend
"Ha yeah that was really impressive...dont do that, we dont want to televise you breaking your whole spine ."
Nah.. they've seen too many regular street performers out jumping "Olympians".
😂😂
These street performers will break their back once and get forgotten
@Atomic_Pinneaple to be fair idk to many Olympians by name
That's one of the wildest athletic feats that I've ever seen'/!!!
The Greeks back in the day, used to use heavy weights and thrown them forward on takeoff then throw them behind them. Sometimes they would fly far enough to break a leg ...
Any gymnast would tell you that the safest flip is the front flip because you're the least likely to land on your head
I’ve heard the opposite, that front flips are more dangerous because of the likelihood that you will land on some portion of your spine if you under rotate. A backflip is most likely to result in falling on your front, which can hurt, but won’t result in long term damage, while side flips, have pretty low risk over all.
Side flips are probibly the safest flips becous when you fall you fall on your back or side not on your head@@strangelyukrainian7314
Life is dangerous so don't do anything adventurous? As a young teen I did the long jump, using some techniques that I learned. This was great fun for a young teenager!
If you didn't hurt your spine doing flips then congrats, but it's a higher risk of injury than the normal jump
If I got a clear gap, not worried about getting banned. I’m worried about clearing the gap and surviving. May the best method win.
bro unlocked double jump IRL
I thought the goal was to jump as far as you can .
too dangerous 😂😂😂😂😂
Luigi’s jump technique could got banned for that. 😭
"Too dangerous", more like too powerful
Stupid rules ruin what could be good sports to watch
Yes, stupid rules saving lives
@@philwill0123 When are you voting to ban Formula 1, Boxing, Wrestling, Judo, KIckboxing, MMA, and pole-vault ?
@ndahiya3730 all of those sports also has rules and regulations to limit the dangers of the sports though.
For example F1cars have added weight in roll structures, it makes the car slower but its regulations to keep the drivers safe and lower death tolls.
@@knibazazand? what about boxing, wrestling, judo, kickboxing, mma and pole-vault?
@HowAreYou2 you mean the sports where there are strict rules and regulations about how and where you can hit someone?
All I hear is "no fun!"
The techniques are to carry as much momentum as possible. A front flip doesnt help you jump farther since you have to slam both feet at the take off which is effective for vertical jumps but not horizontal jumping. So yes it was banned for safety reasons.
“Ban it cause it is dangerous”
Yeah that’s why you TRAIN for it 🤣
Ankles just left the chat
“Jump farther”. “Further” is for metaphorical situations, like “he took it one step further, and slap the guy for losing in the long jump.”
They act like Olympic events don’t inherently come with risk
It's been around since the 70s, I first saw it in scholastic magazine in 1972.
its not danger its talent. The sports orginezer has no talent.
The person formerly known as Bruce Jenner was the first track star I saw do this in the long jump!! An absolute legend from day one of touching the track!!! Gone but not forgotten hahaha
imagine how cooler long jump would looks if everybody gonna jump like that
I hate these organisations not letting responsible adults make their own decision to take a risk
I feel like that shit could blow your knees apart if you did it wrong or even if you did it right and got unlucky. probably good they banned it to be honest otherwise athletes would feel pressured to attempt it just to compete at the top.
take a look at whats going on with baseball rn. catchers getting their arms and hands crushed by bats because someone realized that standing closer to the plate can make the umpire call strikes that could have otherwise been a ball.
Anything that Olympians do could unalive you if you, a non-Olympian, did them wrong. This was just spite. Advantage doesnt even count here because any of these Olympians would and could train to get to this point, thats why they're the athletes and you're not,
@@aliasilver_636 not only missed my point but somehow believe olympians aren't still humans that can be injured and that it doesn't happen all the time in practice and at events. this conversation wont be going anywhere. ill pass.
@@themrwinston9570 and you somehow missed his point when he meant the difference between you and them is that they are professionals 😊
That's taking shortcuts. This is completely different technique. Not the same at all.
@@themrwinston9570 You’re right, I don’t believe they’re the collective human…they’re literally the physical peak of humanity in their disciplines. I’ve personally known several people at the Olympic level, and trust me, we’re not the same. Its like comparing yourself to Einstein for the intellectual best of humanity.
I reiterate: they’re the professionals, not you. Front flips are not abnormal or entirely dangerous, least of all more so than literally anything else they’re doing. Stop talking about sh!t you don’t know
That's why Power Within became Flame, Grant Me Strength
The man who employed his research to develop the technique of the somersault for his long jump was New Zealand Māori athlete Tuariki Delamere. Officials banned the technique only because they had never considered such a technique let alone seen a somersault in an international long jump competition.
Zero-point-twelve? If you understand decimal systems that's 1.2.
Athletes definitely don't take 1,2s to jump. 120ms seem accurate.
@@ekrotte8714 you're absolutely right. It's a problem with grammar. It should be zero-point-one-two
It should be zero and 12 hundredths?
@@user-ns4fr8rx4r 12/100 of a second are 120ms
