An "if only" moment for Hollis Conway as he competes at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona
where he finished with the joint highest jump of 2.34m only to see his other height failours leave
him with "only" the bronze medal. Photo G. Herringshaw. 2nd August 1992. ©
In 1991 Hollis did win a major Gold medal - at the World Indoor Championship in Seville.
Conway won ten USA championship high jump titles (five outdoor, five indoor) before his
retirement at the 2000 Drake Relays (where he jumped 6 ft 9in on 29 April 2000)
