Talk:Puissance

Please bear in mind that "puissance" and "high jump" are two different competitions - and as such have different records. It is possible to jump higher in the High Jump because the fence is sloping, and therefore more "friendly", and is not as solid-looking as the wall. I have corrected this accordingly.

Requested move
The Puissance is also a name of a industrial music group "Puissance". In my opinion Puissance should be a page with this two links. Michu Neo (18.05.2007)

I have removed the move tag above; this is only one step in the process of requesting moves (full instructions are at WP:RM). I also think that such a request is unlikely to succeed, since the primary meaning of "puissance" is quite clearly the equestrian event, with the Swedish band being much less notable. --Stemonitis 11:36, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

puissance record holder - info on wikipedia may be incorrect
Please see attached link to the Washington International Horse Show

http://www.wihs.org/

The website indicates that Tony d'Ambrosio is currently the Puissance record holder. 60 Second Q&A with Tony d'Ambrosio, Indoor Puissance Record Holder Anthony d'Ambrosio and Sweet 'n' Low jumped into the record books in 1983 by clearing the Puissance at 7 feet 7-1/2 inches, a record which stands to this day.

Wikipedia states -The puissance wall has often become taller than 7 feet. The record for the puissance is held by German rider Franke Sloothaak, who in 1991 jumped 7ft 10 inches on Leonardo.

Which is correct?

Unit conversion
"1.80 m (5 feet nine inches)"

1.8m is 5.91 feet or approx 5'11", not 5'9"

5 feet 9 inches is 1.7526m.

Which is the correct height? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.108.27.107 (talk) 10:51, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
