Fighting o" skeptics, he perfected a backward high jump technique known as the “Fosbury Flop” that was widely ridiculed. He earned a scholarship to OSU, made the cover of Track and Field News his sophomore year and won two collegiate championships for the Beavers. Then, at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, in front of 80,000 astounded fans, he dragged himself up, over and into history, his arms spread in triumph. Soon almost all Olympic high jump medalists would be “floppers.” Fosbury was inducted into the National Track and Field Hall of Fame, Oregon Sports Hall of Fame, Oregon State University Athletics Sports Hall of Fame, U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Hall of Fame and National High School Hall ofFame.Aftergraduating,he founded an engineering company in Idaho and later became a county commissioner. He also served as vice president of the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee and as president of the World Olympians Association. In 2018, a sculpture of Fosbury frozen in mid-jump was unveiled in front of the Dixon Recreation Center to honor the 50th anniversary of his Olympic triumph. He is survived by his wife, Robin Tomasi; son, Erich Fosbury; stepdaughters, Stephanie Thomas-Phipps and Kristin Thompson; sister, Gail Fosbury; and several grandchildren.
