Let's watch Bob Beamon as he charges down the runway first time out and takes off in striking fashion to land way out where no man has even dared dream of before at an extraterrestrial WR of 8.90 (2.0) to nail Olympic gold sight unseen in the LJ in Mexico (A) 57 years ago today.

In the same competition was Australian Allen Crawley who finished 6th with 8.02m. Beamon's record stood for 23 years, until American Mike Powell jumped 8.95m at the 1991 Tokyo world championships, where coincidently, Australian David Culbert (a PE student of Crawley's) jumped the exact same distance as Crawley with 8.02m and also f
