Five sprinters were getting ____ at the starting line of the men’s 100-meter sprint in 1896 when the first modern Olympic Games were held.

One sprinter ____ particular caught the spectators’ attention.

He was touching the ____ with his hips raised towards the sky, while the others were simply standing.

The spectators laughed at the position ____ his body, but it took only 11.8 seconds for them to witness him setting the first Olympic record.

This sprinter’s name was Thomas Burke, and his innovative technique called a crouch start has become ____ standard starting position since then.

Here are some key innovations introduced by great athletes who challenged themselves to find what worked ____

They proved that there is always ____ for improvement.

____ until the 1936 Olympics, swimmers used an open turn.

They touched the wall with one or two hands first, turned to the side, and pushed ____ from the wall by bending their legs.

However, open turns ____ the critical disadvantage of disrupting the swimmers’ flow and speed.

This problem ____ resolved by an American high school student named Al Vande Weghe.

While practicing the backstroke, he realized ____ his legs were too heavy for an open turn, which caused him to slow down.

To overcome this ____ he devised a technique that is now known as a flip turn.

He would make a forward roll first ____ change direction and then kick against the wall to speed ahead.

This technique allowed him to maintain as much of his speed and momentum as ____

His willingness to take a risk and ____ experimenting paid off.

Using this technique, ____ won a silver medal in the 1936 Olympics.

Flip turns ____ now the standard in freestyle and backstroke races.

Ski jumping is one of the most spectacular winter Olympic ____

The skiers ____ from the height of 90 meters, which is as high as a 30-story apartment building.

Most of the ____ are able to stay in the air for about five to seven seconds.

While they are in the air, they are influenced by “lift,” an upward force produced by air on a fast-moving ____

When the force of lift is ____ with the force of gravity, the skiers can fly for long distances.

The key factors for them to increase lift ____ jumping distance are increasing their speed, spreading out their bodies and skis, and adjusting their body angle.

As jumps are judged mostly on jumping distance as ____ as their style, skiers have tried many techniques to maximize their time in the air, aiming to achieve longer distances.

In the ____ most skiers simply stood upright throughout their jump.

Later, this upright style was replaced by the ____ style.

The skiers’ upper body was bent at the hips, with their arms extended in front of them and their skis parallel ____ each other.

This technique ____ the average jumping distance.

____ changed in 1985, however, when Swedish jumper Jan Boklöv introduced the V style.

In this ____ the skiers position their skis into a “V” shape with their heads placed between the skis.

This ____ increases the surface area and creates more lift, leading to even greater jumping distances.

Wind tunnel tests showed that the V style improves ____ lift by 28%, which means that skiers can stay in the air longer.

This ____ also enables skiers to land at a safer speed, reducing the risk of injury.

The ____ style was not immediately adopted by the skiing community.

In fact, it was initially ridiculed and received fewer ____ points for breaking the standard of parallel skis.

However, ____ technique proved so successful that by 1992 all Olympic medalists were using it.

____ Fosbury practiced the major high jump techniques, such as the scissors and the straddle, for the Olympics when he was in high school.

He soon realized, however, that these techniques were challenging ____ him because he didn’t have the strength or speed they require.

Then ____ found that when he went over the bar backward and landed headfirst, he could jump higher than anyone on his team.

As an engineering major, he later explained that arching the body backward keeps the jumper’s ____ of gravity low to the ground.

The lower the center ____ gravity, the less energy required to successfully jump over the bar.

Another advantage is that with this technique, there is less chance that the jumper’s arms or legs ____ hit the bar and knock it down.

The result was a ____ success.

Fosbury won a gold medal in ____ high jump in the 1968 Olympics.

But up to that point, every jumper ____ the event had only gone over the bar forward, not backward.

Local newspapers criticized his style, saying that he looked like “a fish flopping in ____ boat” and calling him “the world’s laziest high jumper.”

____ years later, however, 90% of all high jumpers were going over the bar backward just like Fosbury.

Today, every high jumper performs what is known as the “Fosbury ____

Athletes often face challenges when they realize that conventional techniques aren’t working out ____ them.

They then ____ determined efforts to overcome these weaknesses.

Some of these ____ end up developing remarkable innovative techniques, which eventually become the new norm.

Innovation flourishes when ____ have a deep understanding of themselves and discover their own unique strengths.
