<Has a "Roller" ever cleared 7ft?
On the other hand if by "Roller" you mean somebody who used the Western Roll technique then Vance Johnson jumped 7ft and I believe Stan Albright did about 7'1" indoors sometimes in the mid 70s. Not sure about the date but 7'1" sticks in my mind.

I can imagine that, too. I've tried to teach a few English speakers how to pronounce my name... After about five tries, I always end up saying 'close enough' ;-)

The next WR progression book will be available from the IAAF very shortly. It's updated to 31/12/2002 and contains various amendments as well as (hopefully) all records set in the intervening 4 years since the last book
