These videos are great but there could have been a bit more added to this one. like when the score was first announced Beamon did not know how far he jumped because he didn’t know the metric system. And also how his legs gave way and he suffered a cataplexy attack because of the emotional shock.

For many years, whenever you would ask someone, "What is the greatest single athletic feat in history" the answer was usually "Bob Beamon's jump." It was truly unbelievable. I watched that Olympics as a boy and it was just phenomenal. And his reaction just added to the legend.

I attended Jamaica HS in the mid-70's and the first time I attended gym class I looked up at the Wall of Fame and saw Robert Beamon's name next to the long jump and triple jump, which were both state records at the time. I asked the gym teacher if that was the same Bob Beamon who jumped over 29 feet in the 1968 Olympics and he said yes. Was inspiring to tread the same boards that his feet once graced.

I remember watching Beamon make his jump. Even before he landed, it was clear that something incredible had occurred because his leap was so much further then anyone else. That was 52 years ago and the memory remains very clear.

@ Reuben Joseph - I just checked the Wiki for the numbers posted during qualifiers. Among the thirty five compatriots, Bob stood overall second after his third attempt. So either way, at the BARE minimum he would have bagged a SILVER. Well, trying to get a little technical here, though I am not fully sure, if my understanding is correct. If two individuals record the same distance than the person who achieved the distance after the first one is declared the winner - I am not sure about the rationale behind that nor how does it make sense if you were simply the first person among all to take the leap and than imagine this: And, you happen to be the first person to 'go the distance'. That is pure UNLUCK and nothing to do with SKILL though. Anyway, I do understand that I am complicating matters that to after the fact (i.e. event has already transpired). But, I would love to hear expert opinion.

Dude went to town at night and shattered world records during the day.

Amazing how many World Records were broken in this single Olympics, and how long they survived!!!

HIs record still holds. Athletics Long jump World Mike Powell 8.95 m (29 ft 4 1⁄4 in) (1991) Olympic Bob Beamon 8.90 m (29 ft 2 1⁄4 in) (1968)

His olympic record still stands but the world record doesn’t.

I remember watching the jump when I was a boy and going to school the next day and measuring out the jump in the Jim. It was 29 feet and 2 and a quarter inches. Unbelievable! Still the Olympic record and he broke the Olympic record set by Jesse Owen’s in 1936. I think it was the greatest achievement in athletics in the twentieth century

Second place came second by 71cm

It's still a mystery that how he was able to jump to a staggering 8.90m. Mike Powell's jump was also dramatic when he broke the record as on the same day Carl Lewis also broke the 8.90 metres mark

@srzjumper

3 жыл бұрын

You have to remember several key factors 1) perfect take-off on the board (usually jumpers leave 10-30cm) 2) maximum wind 2.0m/s (probably adds another half foot to one foot/ .3m), then 3) the high altitude 4) finally there was storm brewing right before this which made for optimal jumping conditions. It was the PERFECT jump.

Look at The Bob Emergency (on KZread). It covers Beamon's jump in a really dramatic and impactful way. It blew me away.

these videos are exceptional. just watched three in a row. im a big and long time fan of the sport..you've done your homework.

The quality of the video is fantastic

Its been 50 years since that record 🔥

This is exactly how I feel when I get a new pr for jumping! (ok maybe not exactly) but they call out a number and it is a foot better than my personal record I'm just like "no way they must have measured wrong!"

Bob was for real. We attended NC A&T together before he left to go to San Jose State before the 68 Olympics. During practice I watched him touch the top of the basketball backboard.....just a step and a leap straight up and he could run 9.5 sec in the 100.

È uno dei più grandi atleti di tutti i tempi : sfruttò il favore del vento (regolamentare) e la rarefazione dell'aria (dovuta all'altitudine). Il suo impero durò più di 30anni fino a quando fu distrutto da Powell e Lewis che lo portarono a 8.95. Lo stesso Powell poco tempo dopo saltò alla misura da fantascienza di 9.00mt ma il record fu invalidato : la velocità del vento - a suo favore - non era consentita dal regolamento
