João Carlos de Oliveira should be top 10. Four times pan-american Champion. Three times world champion. World record holder for nearly ten years. Two olympic medals (one should be the gold medal in Moscow but he was robbed to the benefit of the soviets). He is top 10 for sure, maybe even top five.

Yeah 11 inches

So sad for Teddy Tamgho, he clearly had the potential to beat the WR... Many bad injuries stopped him, and he past the planch too many times when he easily past the 18m by far, so he had to retain himself...

Did Christian Taylor really remodel his technique halfway through his career, changing the roles of left- and right foot? That is insane.

Hi Antonin. At 12:08, I think you meant it was 11 cm longer than his former record, not 11 ft. It cant be that his former best was 15 meters if he now jumps 18. Probably his former best was 17.85 and he now jumped 17.96 (i.e. +11 cm). Correct? Regardless, excellent video.

Jonathan Edwards jump at 2002 Commonwealth game could have exceeded the world record( not sure what the wind condition was). he was very long after his second phase which is not usually the case, but his final jump was awful. He left so much momentum that he popped out of the pit. Christian Taylor 18.21 jump was so poetic. I think he can still break Edwards' WR.

MAn im really dissapointed with your segment on Edwards. You make out his WR is only 1cm ahead. Its miles ahead , not 1cm! He subesquently smashed that one on the next jump, which you showed but didnt show any subtitles updating the audience as to the new Wr of the 2nd jump which is way over 1cm improved on willies. Please add in some subs or something at that point to properly illustrate that great record which stil stnds o this day.

why number 1 looks like the dude from game of thrones?

I think, it is beter to alert, that this ranking is not exhaustive and was made in a subjective way. Because, for example, the Christo Markov's technique is absolutelly the best ever! Moreover, he won Continental, World and Olimpic titles consequtive one after each, and set European reccord 17.92 in 1987. He has also 3 jumps over 18 metres, but with small fouls.

Where is Józef Szmidt??? 2 times olympic champion (1960 and 1964) 2 times european champion. First man who jumped over 17 m!

If were being honest, Taylor should #1 now. He won 4 WC and 2 Olympics. He jumped 18m 5 times while Edwards only did it twice legally.

Still came back to win the Olympics 5 years later too. Had Taylor broke the world record, he'd go to number one. But he didn't. So he doesn't. Two amazing athletes.
