BUILT-UP SHOES - Banned High Jump Technique!
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 09. 2024
- In 1958, new rules were added to the high jump because athletes found a loophole to give themselves an advantage by wearing a shoe with a extra thick sole on their takeoff foot.
It became known as the “Built-Up Shoe”, “Orthopedic Shoe” or the “Compensated Shoe”.
EPISODE 7:
This is the Seventh addition to: THE BANNED TECHNIQUE series where we look at unorthodox or banned techniques used in Track and Field.

if there is anyone who should have a record in high jumping it a man called stepanov
😂 🤣🤣🤣🤣 he was stepanover wasn’t he lol
@@JumpersJunction Stepanova is, of course, a hurdler. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marina_Stepanova
@@JumpersJunction Or he was (stepingoff) stepanov the ground?? really high? I can imagine yelling out "Look at him stepenaov the ground like that!!"
Don Gordon, inventor of the port-a-pit, had the greatest impact on high jumping (and vaulting) of anyone in history. Strange because foam rubber had been commercially available for over twenty years prior to his idea of putting it in a bag for soft landings.
George Harding invented the port a potty, he had a great impact on all events.
These are so interesting and I can tell how much work went into them. Keep it up!!!
A lot! Haha thank for watching
I'm still flicking through your channel , still amazed in enthralled and entertained with a lot of external information that makes my day go past with nothing getting done I'm loving it.
There were no professional athletes in 1957. You can say the Soviets were paid athletes because most were "employed" by the Army or the Police and notoriously some western athletes figured out how to make money under the table or cashing in plane tickets but rules at the time prohibited getting paid for performing. Until about the mid-70's all athletes had to have a job and compete on the side. Some left for pro sports like football (Bullet Bob Hayes) and some managed to "cash in" on their fame at the expense of future competition.
Ya the world governing body was even called “IAAF” International Amateur Athletic Federation.
Nearly all Western countries had and still have the same system in place.
There was a professional track league in the United States and Canada between 1972-1976. It was called the International Track Association and has a bunch of top stars under contract, like Jim Ryun and Kip Keino. I remember they had a lot of novelty events. The only ITA meet I attended as a boy was at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. Turned out to be the last meet the ever had but at least I got plenty of autographs.
The algorithm has decided that these banned technique videos are something I should be watching. ... and it was correct. This is my 4th one and I now look forward to each day when a new one gets recommended to me. I don't want to binge them because it'll ruin the magic. I hope to one day make it to the ridiculous javelin spin episode!
I need some science on how 2-3 cm of extra sole is making these guys jump 4 inches higher
Springs!
The reason why the gain in jump height exceeds the gain in sole thickness is biomechanical. Because the thicker sole is only worn on one shoe, it provides a longer distance over which you can accelerate while lifting the opposite leg before the planted foot leaves the ground. The effect becomes obvious if you consider an extreme example. Consider simply standing on flat ground and jumping in a manner similar to the high jump technique seen in this video, where you plant one foot and swing the other foot up to generate momentum. Now do the same jump, except the planted foot is on a 10 inch high stool. The gain in height will be more than the 10 inch height of the stool because that is an extra 10 inches of "time" during which the planted foot is still on the ground pushing as the opposite foot is swinging higher. If the thick soles were worn on both shoes, then you would expect the gain in height to be equal to the thickness of the soles, but the extra swing time gained by only having a thick sole on the planted foot leads to a greater increase in jump height.
@@ImTheWinningest Since the sole is only on the front of the foot it also gives your calf more range of motion when you're jumping off so even if you have it on both soles it should give a small advantage.
@@ImTheWinningest Yes, that is a good explanation. I actually doubt that you would get 4 extra inches (10 cm) of height from 2-3 cm of extra sole, but it would definitely be more than 2-3 cm.
I remember getting within an inch of the state high jump record for my grade when I was in track. I kept just barley hitting the bar with my butt. Another half inch I probably would've got the record and having a raised shoe would've done it for sure.
I remembered it was 5'6" 7th grade and the highest I could jump was 5'5" something like that.
4:22 that looked like a nasty ankle roll but it was probably mostly the shoe
This seems to be more of Americans getting butthurt about others winning in events USA dominated.
Love this series. Hope you blow up and can do long format videos.
Thank you! 😀
Do I, possibly, have good news for you?
I have been binge watching a lot of your videos... and every intro when you say "safety of the the spectators" with the spinning dart clip, I crack! hahahahha
This so interesting. It would be cool to see a video/series all about technology doping
This is a cool video series. And how it's not like 20 minutes long like so many videos nowadays.
There were no Soviet athletes who weren’t being used as a chemistry experiment. Coaching, running a bit faster, and new shoes probably had less to do with it than the daily HGH shots.
I love CZcams so much. Where else can you get quality informative & entertaining videos like this.
I’m about to send all my money to CZcams HQ
Imagine how high they would have jumped if they didn't have to land on the ground.
The Russian inclined plane high jump shoe changes the angle in which the jumper applies force (front shoe sole) to the ground. Ideally, the jumper touches down on the heel and rools onto the ball of the foot quickly (extension phase). Some jumpers that practice on elevated platforms enter and execute the take-off mechanism differently (high-speed analysis).
Dick Fosbury says: Hold my beer.
You did not get to Brumel, who was ,perhaps, the best at the stradddle technique. He could kick a basket at 10 ft.
I'm sure I'm the least athletic person here but I enjoy your videos and presentation
Thanks for watching!
Its a shame about that guy. Genuinely talented by the sounds of things. 4cm off his PB sounds absolutely normal. Tragic end
You should do one about the swimsuits that were supposed to be better than skin going through the water
Ah ya that’s a good one
Let them build their shoes up until the size of shoe becomes a hindrance. See what happens. The IAAF didn't let this grow to any reasonable or unreasonable outcome. There were only Soviets and a couple of Americans traying this. See where this goes. Maybe require them to wear identically styled shoes on each foot, so it is actually a shoe and not a tool on their jumping foot.
I say let it ride until a clear outcome shows itself. Swimming decided to limit the amount of fabric after a gozillian records were beaten with the full bodied "shark-skin" fabric that has lower friction than human skin does. Well at least they let it ride until everyone was doing it and saw what the outcome was. I disagree with the ruling, but they allowed the outcome to show itself.
In 1996(?), or maybe '97, Bobby Bowden communicated with QB Thad Busby in an FSU game via radio in his helmet. ESPN even made a big positive about this in their broadcast as FSU let them listen in on some of their communication and they played it on air. This was just like the NFL had been doing for a season or two. Quickly, the NCAA outlawed it. It is still against the rules. The NFL allows two players (one of offense and one on defense) to have a helmet radio on the field. This has added to the sport. Given the noise in a stadium, it has aided in-between play communication between the coach and field captain. (It does turn off a few seconds before the play clock ends or upon the snap, so there is no communication via radio during the play.) The NCAA has limited a reasonable innovation in a sport in which the radios would often be cheaper than the pads and helmet that the QB is wearing. Even if a very expensive encrypted radio is selected, then the cost of a few sets of pads or a new set of workout equipment would eclipse the cost. I say this to make the case that the radios would not be too expensive for any Division 1 school. The culture of football is to verbally call in plays and only in the last generation have encoded signs been sent in. So the established culture of the sport is not like baseball's 150 years of secret signs. It fundamentally changes baseball to have catcher radios. It only improves the existing method in football.
I’m comes a guy with stilts just stepping over the bar
@iFkNxLegend Hahaha! I'd love to see someone sling an 8-ft stilted leg over the bar. Maybe stilts with springs would work even better. 🤔
@@stuckerfam Pogo stick shoes up next
@annaairahala9462 Aww yeah!
Last time I wore rocket-powered shoes, I easily jumped 8,000m. I only stopped coz I couldn't breathe if I went higher
Oh wow! Those shoes are insane! 😮
We should have the Inventive Olympics, a completely different Olympics that allow steroids and technology enhanced equipment to see how much we can improve human performance using human ingenuity.
You say that the article starting the drama featured a photo wherein Stepanov's shoes _seemed_ to have a thicker sole but how thick was it actually?
With the rule on soles being 1/2" thick I wonder if that limits the use of running blades?
There are some studies that show that amputated athletes with running blades have some advantages in sprinting and long jump.
inb4 top athletes amputate their legs for better scores.
I don’t think it was the shoes I think it’s called technique
So the fact that everyone else started wearing them and their marks all soared afterwards means what exactly?
@@MrMali22 lol I see what you’re saying but it wasn’t the shoes everyone started switching techniques
exactly... from the western roll to the straddle lowers your center of gravity, so it was inevitable. Just like the flop lets a flexible jumper have an even lower c of g.
They don't even jump like this anymore. They do the Fosbury Flop !
I kind of feel that this "witchhunt" agains stefanos was clearly unfair. He didn't break any rules, and the shoes he wore was already worn by other athletes before.
Sometimes the IAAF applied new rules retroactively that invalidated performances that had been achieved while legal when they were made. One example is the "rotational" javelin throwing technique that also shows up in this video. Those guys' marks were erased from the official records lists. Stepanov was actually lucky that they let him keep his mark. It's very unfortunate that he took his own life over this.
"Athletes do dumbass things like *checks notes* wearing perfectly legal footwear and *checks notes again* somehow these athletes are responsible for the damage done to their reputation by rabid nationalists and cold warriors who couldn't just take the L and move on" Like, come on. No part of this was a bad decision or foul play from Stepanov (or the other athletes who did the same thing), and implying that it was is in especially poor taste when unfounded cheating allegations may have contributed to the guy committing suicide.
if you cant compete them..destroy them with new rules........old american trics.😂😂
Really interesting content, but please... turn down the background music.
Insane to ban!!
3:20 That French publication's title is pronounced "lay-KEEP".
In other words... US wins, everything is fine, USRR wins, ultra panik mode: ON!
That said, I am in favor of rules that limit the effectiveness of technology in athletic performances, but if those rules are introduced after a competition, they should never be used as reason to deny achievements. At worst, world record should be branched into "old rules WR" and "new rules WR",
Oh, these are my 2 metre heel shoes 😊
Shaq is 7'1" for anyone else interested like I am, really makes me wonder about dunkers in basketball competing in a high jump how high would they get
OMG the new dunk contest is the rim gets higher and higher until only one can make the dunk
Prohibit clothes and shoes, like the old olympics!
0:40 eh, you can see right there in the footage that Kosgei is well over 14 minutes behind Kipchoge's time, so it's more than a stretch to say she 'shattered' the marathon record. Kosgei holds the record for a woman competing in a mixed gender marathon.
Men's and women's records are tracked separately for basically every sport, even if (as in the Boston marathon) are physically on the track together. If a woman "smashes a record" it is implied that it is the women's record.
Same as weight classes in weight lifting. Doesn't matter if the competitors are all in the same gym, lifting at the same time, each one is only competing against their own weight class & gender, and if someone breaks the record for the 60 kg class, they didn't "lose" the competition just because someone in the 100 kg class lifted a heavier weight.
What do you mean mistakes, that guy did nothing. That IAAA is super shady.
Bruh,,, he never jumped as high as he did with the shoes. He was literally progressing more than that beforehand, he should've been able to make up those 4 inches with more training 🤷 (never done high jump)
Anyone see the built up maratho running shoes
to attribute his alcoholism to this is silly. MANY people are alcoholics, nothing to do with scandals... they just are....
A half inch is 12. 77mm, not 1,27mm.
He clearly just misspoke. If you look at the text in the video it says 1.27cm
if one inch is 25.4 mm then half of that is ?
Being very picky here, I want to point out that the current limit for the thickness of the HJ sole (as it has been since the Stepanov rule change) is not 12.7 mm but 13 mm. So a sole 12.9 mm thick is legal. This is very common in the rules. Many measurements of implements, etc., are BASED on imperial units (1/2 inch in this case, which would be 12.7 mm), but rounded off to a metric value (13 mm). For instance, the implement used for the men's shot put is said to be 16 lb, but this is not quite true. 16 lb is 7.257 kg, but according to the rulebook the weight of the shot has to be 7.26 kg. So a shot weighing 7.258 kg is heavier than 16 lb, but it would still be illegal: below 7.26 kg, and therefore too light!
L'equipe..........lay keep. (I don't know how to put l'accent aigu, pretend it's there)
Last monologue is weird and out of place, Stepanov didn't not make a mistake, bad decision nor received a bad guidance. He succumbed to outside pressure
Also... Synthetic testosterone.
Lol
the Soviets started using steroids which explains their performances in all events
Such a US thing to do. Get beat fair and square and then control the media to make it look like it wasn't the case.
