How the Fosbury Flop got its name

When first interviewed, Fosbury called his jumping style a 37..............................., but he realised that this had not made an impression on the 38............................... . In his next interview, he used a name taken from the description given to a newspaper photo - and this was the name that everyone noted. He says the name was appropriate because his town is near a 39............................... and a 40............................... does a similar type of 'flopping' movement when brought to land.
