History of the High Jump. The high jump is one of three athletic jumping events. Unlike the pole vault, competitors must jump over a horizontal bar placed at measured heights without any assistance. Athletes have three chances to jump over the bar. If they succeed, the bar is raised and they get another three attempts to clear the next height. While itâs possible to pass at any point, competitors only have the number of jumps left at that height to get over the higher bar.
