Dick Fosbury - the man who revolutionised the high jump in athletics - has died at the age of 76.

The American leapt backwards over the bar to win gold at the 1968 Mexico Olympics in a technique which became known as the 'Fosbury Flop' and is used by high jumpers today.

At the Games Fosbury set a then record of 2.24 metres using his method.

Writing on Instagram, Fosbury's agent Ray Schulte said his client had died on Sunday.

RIP <rose>
