Grenhopp and mellanhopp

'intermediary jump') were events in early Swedish athletics contested regularly until the 1930s.

Grenhopp was a gymnastic movement in the works of Pehr Henrik Ling.

[1] The jumper jumps over the long direction of a pommel horse, with one touch to gain height in the beginning of the horse, and to clears a tower of mumriks – horsehair-stuffed pillows of sailcloth or other hard fabric – placed on it.

[3] Mellanhopp was mentioned in the 1866 work Tabeller by Hjalmar Ling, but possibly used earlier than that.

[3] The length of a jump is counted from the center line of the horse to the closest point where any part of the body has met the floor.

[4] For grenhopp, the first noted Swedish record was 2.29 metres (7 ft 6 in) by Theodor Andersson, GAIS, set in 1899.

[1] The first noted Swedish record in mellanhopp was 3.89 metres (12.8 ft) by Carl Silfverstrand, Djurgårdens IF, set in 1907.
