The high jump in Track and Field is an event where athletes try to jump over a horizontal bar set at a certain height without knocking it down. Athletes typically use a technique called the Fosbury Flop, where they approach the bar at an angle and arch their back to clear it. The winner is the athlete who jumps the highest without knocking the bar down.
