Part 3, Mike Powell and Carl Lewis World Record Long Jump Competition

Fourth and fifth rounds including the two longest jumps in history, shown back to back, by two different athletes! This was probably the best field event competition in history. Mike Powell and Carl Lewis competed against each other in the long jump at the 1991 World Championships. Lewis had a winning streak of more than 60 meets over the previous 10 years going into the meet. Both were at their best on this night which saw four of the seven longest jumps in history! For those with short attention spans, go to the 3:40 mark to see the world record jump.
