Shai Bolton shows off his insane hops with absurd gym feat

Supremely talented Richmond youngster Shai Bolton continues to mesmerise with his abilities. This time however it wasn’t on the footy field.
Bolton showed off his talents on the field as he played a key role in helping Richmond secure their third flag in four years.

Now the 22-year-old is melting minds in the gym with Geelong’s Quinton Narkle uploading a video displaying his insane bounce.

With a bit of a run up, Bolton launches himself skyward towards a box jump that has been set up.

Set up at an incredible 60 inches (152.4cm), Bolton clearly surprises himself with the insanely impressive feat. Even having to duck down to ensure his head doesn’t hit the ceiling.

Patrick Dangerfield sent the AFL world wild earlier in the year when he showed off his athletic prowess by completing a 57 inch box jump.

Unfortunately the superstar Cat was surpassed by GWS Giants youngster Isaac Cumming who climbed a tower set at 59 inches.

Both men however have been pushed down the leaderboard with Bolton the new clubhouse leader for the AFL’s most freakish athlete in the boxjump category.

Zero relevance to football ability. If that was the case high jumpers would all be jets.

Yeah, it'd be better if he had no leap.

What a miserable post

That leap enabled Bolts to poach the ball over and from Menegola in the Granny and set up Lambert's goal.

Bolton also took that speckie in the 2019 QF against the Lions and intercepted Jeremy Cameron's pass in the 2019 GF. That ability to leap that high isn't just a party trick for him.

Grrrr grrrrrrrrrr I'm so stuffing angry too brother

To be fair none of those guys could leap anymore close to that.

However if you watched the video a certain Patrick Dangerfield had the record when he posted himself doing the same thing previously.

To be fair to Dangerfield, he took only a step or two and didn’t have a run up. That aside Bolton torched him for having an influence in the GF.

Dangerfield jump was phenomenal off a step

Still doesn’t win him a premiership medal

Maybe he should just go and become a high jumper?

Taking the pee right?  That is explosive leg power right there.  I reckon it might be pretty relevant in a few scenarios, burst speed, marking contests etc.
