#RIPDickFosbury... few athletes can be said to have transformed their sport, but Fosbury innovation in high jump method really was a pivotal moment - there's high jump before the Fosbury flop & there's #highjump afterwards....

This past Monday, a innovator in #TrackAndField specifically the high jump, passed away. #DickFosbury created the Fosbury Flop while at #OregonStateUniversity and his technique revolutionized the sport.
