Talk:Kajsa Bergqvist

Above her head
Her indoor World record of 2.08 m (6 ft 10 in) is 33 cm (13 in) more than her height of 1.75 m (5 ft 9 in). And since according to Guinness the record for women in this feat belongs to 1.68 m (5 ft 6 in) tall American Yolanda Henry, who has jumped 2.00 m (6 ft 6¾ in), or 32 cm (12¾ in) over her height; Bergqvist's performance should be a record in this aspect as well.

Though Niki Bakogianni of Greece jumped 2.03 m (6 ft 8 in) in the Atlanta Olympics of 1996 for the silver medal, and her height was listed at 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in). So it could be a tie.

Interestingly, Bergqvist's compatriot Stefan Holm has likewise equaled the men's best performance for the very same feat. And he too did it indoors.

Update: Italy's Antonietta Di Martino has since jumped 34 cm (13½ in) over her height. --Anshelm &#39;77 21:19, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Kajsa set her first world record...
From the Biography section - "In Arnstadt Germany, 4th of February 2006, Kajsa set her first world record. A first attempt indoor leap of 2.08 m to surpass Heike Henkel's 2.07 m leap on 8th of February 1992" Shouldn't the other world records be mentioned as well?
