What is another word for Fosbury flop?
Pronunciation: [fˈɒzbɹɪ flˈɒp] (IPA) 
The Fosbury Flop is a celebrated high jump technique that revolutionized the sport in the 1960s. However, there are several other terms that also refer to this technique. The Western Roll is a similar technique where the athlete rolls over the bar instead of jumping over it. The Straddle technique requires the athlete to clear the bar with their legs first and is a predecessor to the Fosbury Flop. The Scissors technique also involves crossing the bar with the body first, but the legs scissor over the bar instead of clearing it. While the Fosbury Flop is the most recognized technique, these other methods demonstrate the evolution of high jump and the different approaches athletes take to clear the bar.
