Decent stub, but needs work; must be some sources for this info
Incidentally, also deleted trivial reference to his fraternity. Not particularly encyclopedic or even interesting, but belongs in the frats list of notable memebers, where it is. TjoeC ( talk) 03:18, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
I've added a bit about some recent health issues. The article I used as a source has some more biographical stuff if anyone wants to go through it to cull out some more info. http://trackfield.teamusa.org/news/article/5834 James ( talk) 06:33, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
I'm not sure how to use one source for two facts; see footnotes 2 and 4. ô¿ô ( talk) 04:00, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
It's hard to believe there isn't a single photo of Fosbury jumping that is available for the article. -- THE FOUNDERS INTENT PRAISE 13:58, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
This article does not tell anything about Fosbury's high jumping career after the 1968 Olympic Final. Was that the last time he jumped? That's unlikely but whether it was or wasn't, details about the latter part or end of his career would be good information for this article. teevee ( talk) 20:00, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
There is a Youtube documentary about him which says that he used his engineering knowledge (he majored in engineering) in designing his style. It shows somes calculations (but it is not clear if these are Fosbury's calculations or merely artistic licenage). Kdammers ( talk) 04:52, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
