OK, now after addressing the fact that women high jumpers appear to be recruited from the Wilhemena agency (maybe it's the long legs?), I feel you are now obligated to give equal time to the um...bulge issue...in men's pole vaulting. Consider the gauntlet thrown.
As soon as I saw kayak cross I knew I wanted to read your take on it. The slalom time trials were a real feat of pushing yourself to the limit against raging waters and shaving off seconds at great risk; the kayak cross looked like an episode of Wipeout.
High jump is one of the few sports I've watched where the prospect of losing on any medals made me feel sad. For a lot of other events it does feel like the activity in and of itself is fun or at least enjoyable even if you are not getting an olympic medal--running, swimming, playing a sport, surfing or kayaking--but if you lose at high jump you're just spending all that time.... trying to jump over a bar, for nothing.

Sorry Walker but jumping is a thing people do 'for joy' whereas I have not heard of running a marathon for joy.
