Overview: Time-Life presents ‘The Olympics’
BOB BEAMON SETS THE LONG JUMP WORLD RECORD AT THE 1968 MEXICO CITY OLYMPICS How astounding was Beamon’s performance? The optic device judges used to measure the long jump could not register Beamon’s leap. They had to bring out an old-fashioned tape measure. The result: 29 feet, 2½ inches. Beamon had bested the world record by 21¾ inches. When Beamon realized what he had done, he fell to his knees on the track. His competitors helped him back to his feet. “I was thanking that good man up there for letting me hit the ground,” he said.
