Imagine being Bob Beamon sitting in front of a television hoping that no one breaks the record you set half a century ago...that must make you feel incredibly powerful

[@kevinhuang8916]

i think it was wind-assisted so it didn't actually count world record-wise

[@sir_sack]

@Jonathan Parks People give the altitude argument, however no one else was jumping that far

[@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.

[@karthie1000]

@Jonathan Parks we also have to consider less air at that altitude also means less oxygen

[@daisyp8338]

[@thejbturtle]

@@benjaminmicale7022 Naismith was a Canadian Immigrant to the US who became a US Citizen. He lived most of his life in the US including when the game was invited. In 1891 he created the game at the request of his boss at YMCA in Springfield Massachusetts USA. The first collegiate game was in 1893 in the US. The first Professional league was in 1898 in the US. Canada didn't have a professional basketball team until 1946. The sport of Basketball was created in the US and matured into the sport we know it today because of the opportunities and culture of the United States of America. It can't be Canadian sport if the first game, collegiate, and professional all were in the US.

He also chose the perfect career for his body type, have you seen the advantages he has in comparison to normal people? haha Double jointed elbows, smallest production of lactic acid ever measured in a swimmer, wingspan longer than his height! (not saying he's not great, just think it's a funny anecdote)

[@brotherbrod]

@@lunaquadrophenia17 i always thought he was like triple jointed in all major areas. his body was legitimately meant for swimming. also most people’s wingspan is longer than their height lol mine is

[@lexsoft3969]

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.

[@hughjass1976]

Just so you know, his name was J C Owens

[@chelseacanales8763]

Glad that they are postponing the Olympics for next year. Besides, it might be good for the athletes to train even harder and make history in the making.

[@gulnaharbegum8075]

[@chomenza7270]

Its bad for us swimmers. We don't have a facility to train in

[@CHL2Clips]

Ya it’s good apart from some that are now past their prime and can’t compete at the highest level of their game or at all

[@swiftieforever9793]

[@anikokoren3417]

Why couldn't teams bring their professional players to the Olympics? Then how can you decide who is the best if you can't bring your best??

[@kx4998]

because when the olympics begin it is seen as only for amateur only

[@anikokoren3417]

@@kx4998 I mean, the Olympics were the biggest sporting event since the ancient Greeks. Also in the 20th century, it was a dream for all athletes to get to the Olympics and it was the biggest glory to win it. I don't think it was the game of amateurs.

[@josephbaines8541]

so true aniko koren

[@caythlin1002]

The different standards You really thinks it’s fair 20 year old guys playing for university teams against Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson? Olympic teams are recruited mostly It’s not like the top players are selected by competition It’s not like other disciplines

[@petergeyer7584]

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.

[@corimono]

Incredible people

How come nobody talking about the flop. That seemed the most impressive to me...completely changing the sport.

[@isabellawettstein312]

yes! to me, that and the wind tunnel bike should have more focus, because that was when people applied science to the sports amd completely wrecked the perception of what it meant to be the best at it.

[@francisnguyen6349]

I so glad to you, Michael Phelps.

[@murasakino101]

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

[@sammitchell3181]

How about Steve Redgrave winning gold at 5 consecutive olympics in an endurance sport? That was a huge deal

[@rodneypreston1877]

[@jedrzejrakoczy6059]

So did Birgit Fischer (gold on each Olympics 1988-2004, plus one in 1980). Aladar Gerevich of Hungary won 6 consecutive golds; furthermore, he started before World War II in 1932, 1936, then 1948-1960.

Michael Phelps is not the 1st Olympian who had most Medals at the same Olympic with his 8 gold medals. Alexander Dityatin of USSR/Russia did it first in gymnastic at 1980 Olympic. He won 8 medals, although only 3 were golds.

[@MHouston602]

The video meant to say Phelps’ 8 gold medals is the first.

Not to be *That Person* but I googled Bob Beamon to see if he was still alive (which he is!) after setting an amazing record and never having it broken. However, apparently someone did beat it in '91. NONETHELESS, his record stood for 23 YEARS!!! That guy is a legend! The current record holder is Mike Powell, the one who beat Beamon's record, (who is also still alive) and the record he set has not been beaten since!

no wonder why the long jump smashed records in 1986 mexico city because of the high elevation there in mexico city other places not as high elevation difficult for the long jump today probably lots of field records smashed high jump, discus and shot put as well as javelin and hammer throw and triple jump also broken due to the high mexico city elevation above 7,200 feet still hold record today in the olympics

[@erikayang5545]

hi i don't really understand what you mean- could you explain how elevation affects jumps/javelin/throws? thanks!
