Soccer Starlet Outjumps Cristiano Ronaldo, Who Is Better at Jumping Than Shaquille O’Neal, in a Sensational Goal in the Italian League

Every sport requires athleticism in the players to at the top of their game. Regardless of the nature of the sport, athleticism is a basic requirement apart from the specific skill set of the sport. Relatively, the most mundane pro players are super athletes compared to normal humans. Factors like strength, speed, and vertical leap are highly sought after. In NBA, Shaquille O’Neal had the most strength. In soccer, Cristiano Ronaldo had an alien-like leap, and every soccer fan knows the mind-blowing speed of French soccer prodigy Kylian Mbappe.

However, one of the aforementioned has lost the record recently. Every player has all the athletic pieces but, some excel in one more than others. Like Lionel Messi and Stephen Curry, they are both legends of their games, regardless of their lack of height and strength. They both rely on high game sense, the ability to make the play and set the team up. Their coordination, decision-making, and unbelievable skill set make it hard for the opponent to tackle them.

Cristiano Ronaldo lost his record

When it comes to jumping or, in technical terms, vertical leap, Cristiano Ronaldo is way above other names all over the sports sphere. NBA players require jumping more than any other sport. They take jump shots, and layups and smack the ball down on the basket while jumping over the defenders’ heads. However, the name synonymous with vertical leap is not from the NBA. It’s Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo played in Serie A for Juventus for multiple seasons and he held the all-time jumping record in the whole league. However, in a recent match, Napoli’s Victor Osimhen has broken this record. It came as a surprise for almost every fan. But Cristiano Ronaldo no longer holds the time-jumping record in Serie A.

Cristiano Ronaldo had reached the height of an incredible 100.7 inches with his 28-inch vert. However, Victor Osimhen yesterday reached a height of 101.5 above the ground with 28.7-inch vert. Although Cristiano Ronaldo has attained a mind-bending 41-inch leap in a UEFA Champions League match, breaking a league record would be overwhelming for Napoli’s youngster.

Vertical leap of Shaquille O’Neal, Magic Johnson, and others

Although these numbers may look small, they are gargantuan compared to an average human. The average vertical leap of a non-athlete is around 15-19 inches. NBA has the highest number of players that appear to be flying when it comes to jumps. Magic Johnson, one of the great players in the league’s history, had a vertical leap of 30 inches.
