Track & Field Stuffs

This thread will be for anything T&F. Questions, comments, personal bests, oddities ect...
One question I still have is about the 1000 point bonuses. They are on 5 of the 6 events. We can assume the space shuttle graphic was intended to be the bonus on the Hammer throw since this is the only event that does not seem to have one. Was it ever in there or did they just not get around to making this bonus happen?
Now for a seemingly more simple one: How the Fk do you get a 9.76 long jump? Or any jump greater that 9.72? I've seen 9.74, 9.75 and 9.76. I did the 9.75 myself, but it is my one and only jump over 9.72 and I have no clue how I triggered it to happen after thousands and thousands of jumps. Probably 10k+ jumps in my life.
Another thing I noticed today is the high jump on my 4 player cocktail version seems to have different hit detection on player 4 compared to 1 and 2. I didn't try player 3 so I cant comment on that player. I did jumps that I swear would have been high enough to clear on player 1 or 2 side but they hit the bar. Just wondering if it's in my head or if there is any truth to it.
One thing for sure on the HJ is that gap that appears on the HJ uprights at 2.47 on player 1 and 2 didn't appear till 2.49 or 2.50 on player 4. I have to play again to see which one it appeared on.
So a question I have regarding the gap is: Does the gap not appear on player 4 on the upright version? I can easily switch my dips to upright and get the answer. Just thinking out loud right now.
You can see the gap in the bar clearly in this video. It gets one pixel bigger on each jump.

Regarding the 1000 point bonus, what happens if you get three hammer throws of the same distance?
Fly:
I don't think 3 throws of the same distance is possible. Maybe someone can prove me wrong.

The gap on the bar appears at 2.47 on P1 and 2.50 on P4.
Also, compare how close I was to the bar on P1 2.47 height and P4 2.50 height first attempt.

I did an interview for Rolling Stone/ Glixel about Track & Field. They put together a cool little story about the Konami competition from BITD.
