Maybe this competition is staying in 1991 AND THIS AMAZING DUEL LEWIS/POWEL!!! It was just crazy. Certainly one moments of sports i ll remember all my life!!! I was 15 and i remember that;)

Despite not being on the list, I want to pay a small tribute to the best Spanish long jumper in history, Yago Lamela, with a record of 8.56 meters. Yago was for a while, able to face the great Iván Pedroso. Rest in peace Yago. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yago_Lamela

Carl lewis will always be the GOAT. His consistency was amazing and 4 Olympic golds untouchable. Its not even close. Bob Beamon and Mike Powell jumped further. But had no CONSISTENCY. Lewis won an Olympic Gold in 1984 before Powell even knew he wanted to be a long jumper. And he won and Olympic gold in 1996. When Powell wish he wasnt a long jumper anymore. That's just insane. 12 years of dominance.

Actually Lewis had a jump farther then Beamons WR 29'2 but it was slightly wind aided. Beamons was at altitude so IMO thats a even playing field

Ivan Pedroso: 9,03 and save the bullshit about the wind. There was "some" guy in front of the anemometer at the moment so we'll never know whether the wind was within the legal margin, or not.

Bob Beamon had never jumped 29' until that time. He was at best 27'+. So you have to imagine in his head when he felt that takeoff and his moment to extend his legs, he might have done little better. He went back to 27s after that. So if someone jumps 30' in the near future that is a magical mark. A few have on fouls. But whomever hits a legal 30' his name will be put on stone. Just like Jonathan Edward's 60footer.

After he nearly failed to even make the U.S team.

At altitude in Sestriere in 1995, Iván Pedroso jumped 8.96 meters with a measured wind of +1.2. This would have been the world record, beating Mike Powell by one centimeter. However, the Italian Athletics Federation did not forward the result to the IAAF for ratification, since the wind mark was declared invalid, because a person stood in front of the anemometer, probably intercepting the correct wind measurement. I'm Glad too because certain altitude, just as wind, should not be allowed for WR.

I wonder who else beside Carl Lewis could join this club? It would be interesting to see that list. He was also holding the second best of all times of 8.45 m from 1976-1980
