2 unusual facts about Ivan Ukhov


Ivan Ukhov

His leap of 2.40m (7 feet 10 1/2 inches) in 2009 made him the 11th man in history to jump 2.40 or better, and only four of those men have jumped higher (indoors and out); only three men have jumped higher indoors (Patrik Sjöberg, 2.41 in 1987; Carlo Thränhardt, 2.42 in 1988, and Javier Sotomayor, 2.43 in 1993).

There, he was found to have drunk Medronho prior to the competition, and was unable to make a valid jump.
