	High jump - Encyclopedia - Fansub TV
		The high jump is an athletics (track and field) event in which competitors must jump over a horizontal bar placed at measured heights without the aid of any devices.

		After he used this Fosbury flop to win the 1968 Olympic gold medal, the technique began to spread around the world, and soon floppers were dominating international high jump competitions.

		Women generally reach menopause in their late 40s or early 50s, at which point their ovaries cease producing estrogen and they can no longer become pregnant.
		For poorer women, especially among the working classes, this often remained an ideal, for economic necessity has long compelled them to seek employment outside the home, although the occupations traditionally open to working-class women were lower in prestige and pay than those open to men.
		Eventually, restricting women from wage labor came to be a mark of wealth and prestige in a family, while the presence of working women came to mark a household as being lower-class.

	Olympic Athletes Criticize Title IX Recommendations
		Also on Wednesday, commissioners and Olympic gold medalists Donna de Varona and Julie Foudy issued a minority report expressing their discontent with the commission's final proposals and recommending that Title IX "be preserved without change." They declined to sign the commission's final suggestions.
		Although most men's athletic coaches support women's athletics, many believe that changes to Title IX are absolutely necessary--in part because the athletic budget either has to expand to provide more opportunities for female students or financial support for men's sports must shrink.
