Description: In the 1960s, the American athlete, Dick Fosbury, revolutionised high-jumping by inventing the 'Fosbury flop'. Instead of diving or scissor-kicking over the high-jump bar, Fosbury floated across on his back. In 1968, the Fosbury flop won its inventor a gold medal at the Olympic Games in 1968. Alan Johnston speaks to Dick Fosbury for Sporting Witness. PHOTO: AFP/Getty Images NOTE: The audio for this programme will not be available on iPlayer until Monday 5 September 2011.
