"I first tried the high jump in 2009 when I was 21. At the time I was still running 800m and later I went to the All-Africa Games in both events. I didn't make the final in the 800m, but won a bronze medal in the high jump. After that, my federation gave me a scholarship to become a high jumper."

Qatari high jumper Mutaz Essa Barshim. (spikes.worldathletics.org, 27 Aug 2019)
:
"It [high jump] is a great event - one that teaches you the value of discipline. The hardest part is keeping total concentration. You need stamina, as strange as that sounds. With running you can go out and switch off your mind and pass an hour and come home feeling refreshed, but when you go training for the high jump - and even more so in competition - everything needs to be switched on at all times. Total focus." (spikes.worldathletics.org, 27 Aug 2019)
