This document outlines the basic rules and fouls of high jump. It provides examples of national and international records in high jump. Some key points include:
- Athletes get 3 attempts to clear each height and must jump using a single leg take-off.
- The bar height is systematically increased after all competitors clear a height. Those who fail 3 times at a height are eliminated.
- Fouls occur if the bar falls on contact or an athlete touches the bar or landing area before jumping.
- National records include Hari Shankar Roy's mark of 2.25m. International records are held by Xavier Suto Mayor at 2.09m.
