The two-foot high kick is considered one of the toughest events at the Arctic Winter Games. Athletes aim to hit as high a target as possible with two feet together – and must stick the landing. Colton Paul from Alaska won gold in this year's open men's event. The 19-year-old defeated his fellow Alaskan competitor Parker Kenick with a 259.1cm or 8'6'' leap. #ArcticeSports #HighKick #IndigenousTikTok @CBC News @CBC North @CBC Sports @MatSu Arctic Winter Games 2024
