It was popularized and perfected by American athlete Dick Fosbury, whose gold medal in the 1968 Summer Olympics brought it to the world’s attention.

The final steps of the run-up are generally taken not straight to the bar, as in other jumps, but in a slight curve. Fosbury originally finished the run-up in a near semi-circle, though other jumpers have adapted to a less drastic approach. Fosbury began approaching the bar with his back to it and jumping over horizontally. He completed the jump with his back arched and his arms at his sides. He soon perfected the method well enough to take it to the Olympics, where he jumped 2.24 meters (7.34 feet) to take the gold medal.
