Notes and References

  1. Note: this might be a confusion of record keeping. This mark is almost a meter further than Mohinder Singh's Olympic performance and was set in California. At the same time, his namesake Mohinder Singh Gill was jumping this kind of distances for a California college, his name was shortened to Mohinder Singh in many results.
