The final event of the day was the high jump. Whereas other competitors -- jumping vertically from a standing position, Maasai-style, with intense encouragement from the rhythmic chants of their warrior brothers gathered around the jumping circle — would take a first leap to get the rhythm, then a second one higher, and then a third or fourth leap to stretch for their maximum height, Tipape would simply step to his mark under the device and jump once — clearly touching the string suspended overhead with the top of his head, then step back.
He was not only dominating his competitors, he was saving his energy for the later rounds as the string would be raised higher and higher until only one competitor achieved that height.
That one competitor was Lekatoo Tipape. Make A Reservation Ready to reserve your safari?
