An in-depth timeline of every 2.46m High Jump world record attempt.

During the 2013 & 2014 season, Barshim and Bondarenko had one of the fiercest rivalries in track and field. Jumping 2.40m on a weekly basis, and challenging Javier Sotomayor's world record more times in those two years, than the other 30 years combined.

I was forced to make a few tweaks because the I.O.C took it down, even though this story doesn’t involve the Olympics. Glad it's back, kept it original as possible. This is my own favourite video, and by FAR my favourite story in the sport of athletics. So if you've seen it, or haven't I hope you enjoy the HECK out of this epic rivalry.
