You're suggesting Sutton's grammar is below standard? Your thoughts are noted.

You've set a very high bar with that.

Not many sportspeople have completely redefined their event like he did. Everyone goes backwards now, I could never see how it worked, but it obviously did.

RIP

I won the high jump at my school sports day by refusing to Fosbury flop.

Everyone tried and failed to clear a very low bar as their legs crashed on it as they went over.

I straddled it to take the gold.

He was just part of one of the questions on only connect. Spooky

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Sad news RIP.

Have you heard him talk, he definitely says "your"

Me and the GF were just talking about him on Saturday after reading this: Iconic photos

I see what you did there.

Only after I had looked him up.

Mike Smith’s sister?

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

He was indeed one of the special sportsman that found a way to do it a different and much better way within the rules.
Might not have succeeded it the organising bodies continued to insist with landing in a sand-pit mind.

RIP Dick Fosbury

That’s you for the high jump

I hope you didn't flop.

Exactly. I can't hear the apostrophe. Ignorant peasant (or is that the fault of the transcriber)?
