“He looks like a fish flopping in a boat”.
This was the comment of a reporter when he saw high jumper Dick Fosbury jumping over the bar like no one else before.
Coaches, athletes, spectators—they all made fun of him.
His “flop” looked ridiculous… until it won gold and changed an entire sport.
I love stories like this because they remind us that every creative breakthrough looks strange at first.
