@brianhalligan9268

The World record before Beamon was almost 2 ft shorter than his jump and before him the record was being broken by fractions of inches. The former world record holder in the event at the same games said after his jump "compared to that jump we are children". What Beamon did at that games at the time seemed a physical impossibility. Historical records would indicate that the long jump record added about 4 1/2 ft from around the time of the ancient greeks to just before Beamon's jump. 4.5 ft in 2 millennia and Beamon adds almost 2 ft by himself in one jump.

This is a good list. But I want to add some, at least as honourable mentions : 1. Jesse Owens's winning 4 gold in track and fields in Berlin 1936. This inspired Carl Lewis to achieve the same in Los Angeles 1984, something Usain Bolt could not do. 2. Mark Spitz 7 golds in Munich 1972. This is what inspired Michael Phelps to do his thing in Athens 2004 and in Beijing 2008. 3. Johny Weismuller in 100m free at Paris 1924. He was the 1st man to swim under 1 minute, i.e 59.0 secs at Olympic, although he had done it prior to the Olympic with 57.4 as the WR.

That’s actually how a lot of sports ended up being dominated by Eastern Bloc countries during the Cold War for example. Without “professional” sports leagues, all the best athletes in these countries could maintain amateur status throughout their careers. That’s one of the things that made the 1980 “Miracle on Ice” so notable. The Soviets were playing all of the best players in the country, while the US could only send essentially college students.

I so glad to you, Michael Phelps.

As a gymnastics fan, I was happy to see nadia's perfect 10 on here but I'm surprised simone's triple double wasn't on here. It created the first J(or K, whichever it is) element on floor. I guess that could also be counted as breaking records though instead of game changing
