This clip aired on August 6, 1989, just one week after Javier Sotomayor became the first man to clear 8 feet (2.44m) in the high jump. It includes footage of Sotomayor's historic jump, as well as his previous world record of 7' 11.5" (2.43m) set in 1988, plus interviews with Sotomayor and American jumper Hollis Conway.
