I remember watching this clearly in 1995, i was in hospital in Germany and watched the whole conpetition, what an athlete. I dont anyone realises how technical this event is, this was just peak prime perfect performance. Incredible speed, strength and technique in combination, a once in a lifetime moment. And what a gentlemen. salute

Jonathan Edwards undisputed GOAT of the Triple Jump event 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@CryogenicFire]

Such a lovely guy

[@martintrevor9936]

27years on still holds the record,that's a record in itself.👍

[@judahdsouza9196]

man you can see him getting emotional here. truly the GOAT

[@valeriypassechnikov5458]

this is the professor and even more of the genius of the triple jump, to watch and see it is simply crazier

[@davidramirez4810]

My all-time favorite field athlete.

[@gotheDLsummertour]

Still remember the 18.43 he did earlier that season, wasn't much above 2m/s. His hop landing so great, hardly loses any speed. Legend!

[@drmal]

Yes, if he'd been further on the board he'd have almost hopped into the pit!

[@jeanettehinds4253]

I've always appreciated his excellence, because in the UK they are a rare breed.

[@djxcel23]

With the advances in technology Im really surprised no one has come close to breaking it.. it was the perfect jump

[@Ok_Igwe]

Christian Taylor is 8cm from it

[@djxcel23]

@@Ok_Igwe you know what your right.. but just have to state he wont get that close again. He is past his prime,

A legend of the golden era.

[@LVPAcharn]

What a candid and interesting interview, long may his record stand the test of time. A truly remarkable athlete !!!

[@CarsUnlimited]

Ive watched that jump countless times, its mesmerising to watch, looks effortless like he was filled with helium 😂

[@jakkeday1]

So fast & so great technically!

[@Ian_Burgess]

This brings back so many fond memories, commentary was brilliant too

[@Z00Maddict]

This is great to listen to. What a legend. Never get tired of watching these jumps.

[@sparkshot289]

There is just no wasted motion in his jumps

[@TheIkaraCult]

I will never forget this moment when i was a boy, he flew like Michael Jordan.

[@Y4wN_]

Thank you for sharing this. Such an inspiration!!

[@nikeswoosh7575]

Gem 💎 of a video.

[@peters6119]

All of us who were competitive athletes can relate to that feeling at the time you were in the best shape of your life and knew you were and then looking back decades later in disbelief at what you did when you were younger. But to be the best ever in the world like he was and to hear him describe his disbelief that he did it was very interesting. He is such a thoughtful athlete. You will find that most people who set world records in athletics are also very intelligent about their sport and their event. I've always admired Edwards and he was one of my all time favourites because he was a 5'10" 160 lb. jumper and I was almost exactly the same size as he was and was also doing LJ/TJ. It was so awesome to think that you didn't have to be 6'2" to be successful at the TJ.

[@dewylee6441]

The legend!

[@adampearson823]

Legend. Pure poetry in motion 👌

[@bertoyardie8731]

I love the triple jump, for me it’s the most technical and aesthetically pleasing event to view. Jonathan Edwards was made for the triple trump. Perfect physique, slender, speedy, wirey. Hope young Hibbert can test the WR, gonna require a perfect storm to beat it. I am a huge fan of JE 🙌🏽💫

[@Johnrap]

I guess this was taped before Kevin Young's 400 Hurdles record was broken.
