Richard Douglas Fosbury was an American high jumper,who is considered one of the most influential athletes in the history of track and field. He won a gold medal at the 1968 Olympics,revolutionizing the high jump event with a "back-first" technique now known as the Fosbury flop. His method was to sprint diagonally towards the bar,then curve and leap backwards over the bar,which gave him a much lower center of mass in flight than traditional techniques.
