💨 Abstract

At the last two Olympics, the men's high jump yielded ties, with Tokyo 2020 co-winners Gianmarco Tamberi and Mutaz Barshim sharing gold, and Paris 2024 winner Hamish Kerr outlasting Shelby McEwen in a jump-off. Now, Kerr suggests eliminating shared medals. Tamberi disagrees, arguing that jump-offs turn the competition into an endurance test rather than a jump-off.
