This is amazing, but Mike Powell broke Beamon's Long Jump record in '91 and this one still stands unbeaten. Could you check your facts?

Yep, Powell holds the world record, Beamon still holds the Olympic record.

Oh yes, the word Olympic went over my head, my mistake. Beamon's was at the Mexico Olympics. Powell's at the World's.

No it’s the long jump in the 68 Olympics. Knew him when we competed. Jamaica high school vs. Newtown high school. Queens, New York.
