    RIP Dick Fosbury

    The inventor of the Fosbury Flop has died, at age 76: https://apnews.com/article/fosbury-f...b9955545466d86

    He completely changed the technique everyone, literally everyone, uses for high jumping. You might say he raised the ceiling above the roof.

    He's a bit analogous to the Gogolaks in football who changed how everyone place kicks...they went from being idiot Hungarians to being revolutionaries...
