The What Gravity Challenge is more than just a competition; it’s a
tribute to excellence, perseverance, and the spirit of high jump. Created by
Mutaz Barshim, the legendary Qatari athlete and three-time World Champion, this
event is a testament to his gratitude for the nation that has supported him throughout
his journey.
Barshim’s career has redefined the boundaries of high jump, from his historic three consecutive World Championship wins to his unforgettable Olympic gold medal moment in Tokyo, where he chose to share the top honor with Italy’s Gianmarco Tamberi—a defining act of sportsmanship that captivated the world.
Note: "Doors open at 3:00 PM, and the show begins at 5:00 PM."
