The winners of the traditional 456th high jump from the Old Bridge in Mostar this year are Igor Kazic from Mostar and Evald Krnić from Montenegro.
Kazic won the maximum points in the discipline of foot jumps, and Krnic in the head jumps of the popular Mostar swallow.
31 competitors took part in this year’s jumps. Fourteen jumpers competed in jumps on legs and 18 competitors competed in head jumps for the title of best swallow.
Every jump was monitored under the watchful eye of an expert jury consisting of veterans of Mostar jumps Branko Bogicevic, Haris Sisirak, Haris Skoro, Samir Zukanovic-Lilo and Alica Jakiroviv, who presides over the jury, and the delegate Igor Remetić was with them the whole time.
During the assessment, the approach to the jumping platform, the flight, landing on the feet and on the head were monitored. When jumping on your feet, you should be as tight as possible, and when jumping on your head, as much as possible, and based on that, they got grades.
Veterans of the Mostar jumps performed in the showpiece, who will close the event with spectacular jumps with torches at 10 p.m. after awarding the best, Klix.ba writes.
