Patrik Sjoberg (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Jan Niklas Patrik Sjoberg (born 5 January 1965 in Gothenburg, Vastra Gotaland) is a former Swedish high jumper and previous world record holder. With 2.42 metres (7 ft 11.3 in), he holds the Swedish as well as the European record in men's high jump. His 2.42m is the best jump in history for anyone who has not tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs, as Javier Sotomayor tested positive for nandrolone. However, Sotomayor bettered that mark several times and didn't test positive on any of those occasions. He is also a two time world indoor record holder with marks of 2.38 m (1985) and 2.41 m (1987).
