Takeoff surface clouds Thomas high jump record
The world high jump mark of 7 ft 1 1/2 in by John Thomas is under review after the use of an asphalt composition takeoff. AAU official Pinky Sober says the record may be submitted to the IAAF with conditions noted, while questioning spike compatibility and prior Soviet methods. The IAAF previously banned the built up sole shoe used by Yuri Stepanov in 1957.
