How high is the high jump world record in meters?
2.45
Background
The high jump world record has stood at 2.45 meters since 1993. Javier Sotomayor from Cuba cleared it in Salamanca, Spain. That is taller than two fridges stacked on top of each other. No one has come close since. It is one of the longest standing records in track and field.
