The high jump is an athletic event where athletes attempt to jump over a horizontal bar placed at increasing heights between two vertical supports spaced 4 meters apart. Athletes have three attempts to clear each height before the bar is raised slightly higher. The men's high jump has been part of the Olympics since the first modern Games in 1896, while women's high jumping debuted at the 1928 Amsterdam Games. The document provides images of Javier Sotomayor and Stefka Kostadinova, who hold the current men's and women's world records for the high jump.
