World Record Equalled at World Championships

American Max Schulze equalled the world record for the unicycle high jump when he cleared 1m 15cm at the Unicycle World Championships today. In front of an excited crowd that surrounded the high jump arena, Schulze cleared the 1m 15cm record on his first attempt and then had the bar raised to 1m 22cm as that is one cm above the unofficial record that has reputably been cleared out of competition. He missed on all three attempts but then had the bar raised to1m 25cm for the crowd and successfully cleared that though it cannot be considered for the record books.

The 1m 15cm record is shared with Joe Hodges from the UK.
