Dick Fosbury, the lanky leaper who revamped the technical discipline of high jump and won an Olympic gold medal with his Fosbury Flop, has passed away aged 76.
Fosbury died Sunday after a recurrence with lymphoma, according to his publicist, Ray Schulte.
At the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, Fosbury took off at an angle, leaped backward, bent himself into a J shape to catapult his 6-foot-4 frame over the bar, then crashed headfirst into the landing pit.
It was a convention-defying move, and with the world watching, Fosbury cleared 2.24 meters (7 feet, 4 1/4 inches) to win the gold and set an Olympic record. By the next Olympics, 28 of the 40 jumpers were using Fosbury's technique.
The Montreal Games in 1976 marked the last Olympics in which a high jumper won using a technique other than the Fosbury Flop.

'I'll be forced to retire next year' - Mary Kom aiming to do well in Asian Games

Mary Kom is hoping to get fit for the Asian Games before she is 'forced to retire' next year

The veteran pugilist, who had torn her anterior cruciate ligament after twisting her left knee during the Commonwealth Games selection trials last year, underwent a reconstructive surgery to repair the ACL tear in August.

Racing against time to get fit, six-time world champion boxer MC Mary Kom is targeting the Asian Games as her swansong in the ring before she is "forced" to retire next year.
The veteran pugilist, who had torn her anterior cruciate ligament after twisting her left knee during the Commonwealth Games selection trials last year, underwent a reconstructive surgery to repair the ACL tear in August.
"What happened during the Commonwealth Games trials was very unfortunate. I suffered a major injury and I had to undergo a surgery," Mary said at the unveiling of the Indian team jersey ahead of the women's World Championship.
"I'm trying to come back soon. Because I have only this year, next year I'll be forced to retire. So this year I want to compete in any competition before the retirement." According to the rules, the maximum participation age for a boxer is 40 years and the Manipuri will turn 41 in November.
However, in order to be selected for the marquee-event, the London Olympics bronze medallist will have to go through the new selection process, which requires a boxer to go through an evaluation test in the national camp.

Roger Federer to Swiss football: Sports sponsorships face uncertain future after Credit Suisse collapse

From Roger Federer to Switzerland's national team, the takeover of Credit Suisse has left the sporting fraternity with a big question mark hanging over sponsorship deals.

#Sports #Switzerland #CreditSuisse

UBS, which is taking over Credit Suisse, has its own portfolio of sports sponsorships focusing on Formula One, athletics and ice hockey, and may not necessarily continue with the deals Credit Suisse made in the past.

The takeover of Swiss bank Credit Suisse leaves many sports stars, teams and tournaments with a big question mark hanging over their lucrative sponsorship deals.
The Swiss national football team, the country's top football division, tennis great Roger Federer, golf star Sergio Garcia and Zurich's new stadium were all sponsored by the bank, which is being taken over by Swiss rival UBS.
The deal was hastily arranged on Sunday afer Credit Suisse's share price plunged.
Golf and equestrian events also relied on Credit Suisse money, as did the Swiss Sport Aid Foundation, which backs talented young athletes in minority sports.
"Our sponsorships reflect our passion for excellence, sustainability, and partnership," Credit Suisse boasts.
The Neue Zurcher Zeitung newspaper said that no matter how much Credit Suisse got embroiled in scandals or rejigged its strategies, "the bank has always been a reliable partner for sports".
"For the time being, we will continue our corresponding commitments unchanged," a Credit Suisse spokesman told AFP.
But UBS, which has its own portfolio of sports sponsorships focusing on Formula One, athletics and ice hockey, may not necessarily continue with the deals.
Football focus Credit Suisse has been the main sponsor of the Swiss Football Association (SFA) governing body since 1993.
The men's national team, ranked 12th in the world, has enjoyed some of its best years since the bank came on board.
Having only appeared at one World Cup between 1966 and 2006, Switzerland have qualified for the last five World Cups, reaching the last 16 in four of those tournaments.
The contract runs until June 30 next year. It is worth around five million Swiss francs ($5.4 million) per year, according to Blick newspaper.
The Credit Suisse logo will stay on the national teams' training jackets and jerseys for as long as the bank exists, SFA spokesman Adrian Arnold said ahead of Saturday's Euro 2024 qualifier against Belarus.
"We had good discussions with our contacts at Credit Suisse, who assured us that the existing contracts would be honoured," Arnold said.
"We would like the partnership to continue thereafer, in whatever form."
Credit Suisse is also the main sponsor of Switzerland's bid to host the 2025 women's European Championships, and the takeover comes shortly before the hosting decision is due on April 4.
The bank is the title sponsor of the Super League, Switzerland's 10-team top football division, including well-known clubs like Young Boys, Grasshopper, FC Zurich and FC Basel.
Blick said the contract runs until 2025 and is worth around eight million Swiss francs ($8.7 million) per season.
Money goes into every club as well as the tournament, with the bank's name appearing on all team strips and on advertising boards around the stadiums.
In 2019, the bank won the naming rights for a proposed new football stadium in Zurich, where Grasshopper and FC Zurich are expected to play.
But the planned "Credit Suisse Arena" has faced delays. It was due to open in mid-2022, but little progress has been made and its future now seems even more uncertain.
Roger Federer Federer is by far the biggest name associated with Credit Suisse.
Although Switzerland's greatest sports star retired in September, he remains a brand ambassador for Credit Suisse. The bank was on board for his transition into a post-tennis career, saying: "We look forward to many more years together".
Federer has a host of other sponsors he can fall back on, including Rolex, Lindt, Mercedes-Benz and Moet et Chandon.
Credit Suisse also sponsors the Federer-instigated Laver Cup, which features six top men's tennis players from Europe against six from the rest of the world, captained by Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe.
The Laver Cup did not respond when contacted by AFP.
 Sponsors leave, others arrive In golf, Credit Suisse sponsored the European Masters golf tournament in Crans-Montana and Spanish former world number two Garcia, who won the 2017 Masters.
European Masters tournament director Yves Mittaz said the contract runs until the 2024 tournament so the event is not at risk.
"There is no reason to panic," he told the Tribune de Geneve newspaper.
"That's the business of sport: sponsors leave, others arrive."
In equestrianism, Credit Suisse is a main sponsor of the Concours Hippique International de Geneve and White Turf in St. Moritz, a glitzy exclusive event featuring horse racing on a frozen lake.
