Jumps trivia... (who am I)

[Jon]

My PB is 2.18m (HJ) and I'm a previous winner of the World Cup. I'm also still competing.

Who am I...?

Just spotted this. 7 hours ago? Where's Steve?

Savante Stringfellow

(he used to come here occasionally. Saw him jump over a kneeling judge at Mt. Sac last year!)

The question sounded like we were looking for a high jumper who won the world cup in high jump and his personal best is only 2.18m

And that's exactly how it was meant to sound! It was a kinda trick question, although I should have known HJ-specialist Mark would have got it right!

Good going, Mark!!

Are you inferring I don't? lol How many months/days/minutes is it to retirement now? Approximately, of course...

I understood that it had to be a non-high jumper... The phrase that confused me was 'a FORMER World Cup winner' Stringfellow won the last edition of the World Cup, while I was looking for someone who's not a reigning champion...

Lol, 'former' is slightly different to 'previous' (which is the word I used). Had I said "reigning', it would have made it WAY too easy! ;-)
