High jumpers are athletes who compete in the sport of high jumping, which involves leaping over a horizontal bar set at various heights. The goal is to clear the bar without knocking it down. High jumpers use a combination of speed, strength, and technique to achieve their jumps, often employing styles like the Fosbury Flop or the straddle technique. Competitions are typically held on a track and field field, and athletes take turns attempting to clear progressively higher bars. The height of the bar is raised after each round, and the jumper who clears the highest height wins. High jumpers often train rigorously to improve their skills and physical conditioning.
