Standing Jumps?

edit

According to the wiki entry on the 1900 summer Olympics the Standing High Jump did not begin until the 1900 Olympics. But there is clear video footage on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SL-3V71KSC8&t=74s) of the 1896 Olympics (you can see it is the Athens stadium) where people are doing Standing High Jump. In this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJpxGWi-Otw) Ellery Clark's son refers to him winning the Running High Jump. Were the standing events there but not recorded..?
