Attempts for world record (Closed for comments)

I don't see the point of being able to go for a world record attempt after the high jump competition is over.

Doesn't it defeat the whole point of the competition? If someone jumps higher than the first place, it really doesn't seem to make any sens.

Getting a wod record usually has to be done in competition, so you ha e to perform well under pressure.

At EUC there was so much confusion because Pierre jumped higher with 136cm and Aidan got first place with 132cm

This appears to be a duplicate of another discussion. I commented in the other one; this one probably should be deleted.
