The Men's High Jump final at the Paris Olympics 2024 saw a deadlock as Hamish Kerr of New Zealand and Shelby McEwen of USA didn't want to share the gold medal and fought fiercely in the jump-off. During the jump-off, which went for a long time and was exhausting, Hamish Kerr couldn't find the strength to make a proper jump and hilariously dived under the jump bar into the foam on the other side. Kerr returned strong later and won the gold medal making a jump of 2.34 M. Fans although loved his failed attempt and made the failed dive viral on social media.
