To establish the first high-jump record in Paris, today, you had to jump exactly two meters. Only the Australian Jamie Kermond and Yandoo Oaks Constellation, his 9 years-old gelding, have succeeded despite of the heat and that, in front of an enthusiastic crowd.
Two meters, of course we are far from the world record established by the Chilean Aleberto Arraguibel and his thoroughbred Huaso, whom had jumped 2,47 m in 1949, because today the sport has become a matter of strength, agility, and dressage, but the idea to rehabilitate this event of high jump is a great idea if you believe in the enthusiasm of the crowd.
Spectators that would have preferred to see the actor Guillaume Canet win, but who defeated at 1,90 m (and ends up 4th). But still! Congrats !
