What jumping 8.9 meters looks like. For those of you who are not familiar with the metric system, that's 29 ft 2 in, or just 10 inches shy of a first down . . . through the air!!!!! Bobby Beamon could flat out fly. He did this at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City. No one has ever jumped farther in competition.
