[ColourfulDentist]

Oh my god... he's white!

[Ethan123495]

sand must be really soft

[USGmarksGnw10]

And they say "white man can't jump" :/

[sandcoach1]

respect to johnathon edwards best record in the history of athletics..

[thehitchrules]

Has he since denounced religion ? lovely jump !!

[Clydieooo]

I love his reaction after his second jump. Just saying, "Yeah I know, what can I say?"

[145bobby]

He is skinny, but this guy could lift weights like a 225lb nfl player and even better... he could run a 10.3ish in 100m..and he is a minister of some sort

what a boss

[kjackson2k1]

Teddy Tamgho created 13 accounts to dislike this

[bmxphenom50]

Bad landing

[cask18]

He carries so much of his speed through the jump.

[ispitthetruth]

that was bloody ridiculous

[The1nOnIy]

And the record still stands to this day in 2011.

[gradimirkaable]

magic edwards

[HeVoNify]

0:11 - 0:14 loads of ronald mcdonald's :L

[dazmalcs]

Johnathan Edwards had arguably the most beautiful technique in triple jump history. this is what helped him break the WR twice.... Couple that with 2 consistent tail winds of 1.3m/s and you have a jump that will not be broken for a very very very very long time.

[SuperZabian]

HOLY Crappppppppppppppppppppppppppp­pppppppppppPPPPPPPPPPP I CAN ONLY JUMP half HIS THING

[backspacesquare]

all he needs is three rocks and he can clear a river lol

[tomgolden1995]

@backspacesquare actually - he only needs two rocks to clear a river

[backspacesquare]

@tomgolden1995 yeah haha

[stefanosdedalos]

This man is a god!

[tearah53]

@bongbingbong8 Great Comment had me Cracking up for ages LOL

[Sorcerereq]

13 people can't get over 10m.

[abarbar06]

pft this isnt remarkable, a jump like that is to be expected of any gazelle/human crossbreed like himself

[yonathan41]

Unforgettable athlete and superb human being. Chapeau

[pijb22]

That has to be the most beastly landing ever.

[jivetome]

Greatness personified.

[LawsonandTice]

Mario beat this record years ago! :)

[ostime14]

BRITISH!!!!!!

[MrSylogy]

[mcskillz008]

[Azonicable]

OMG suomeks, wtf???

[taylarochelle]

that was SICK

[You13ow2Me13itch]

what the fuck...he doesnt even look athletic

[dan32113]

@You13ow2Me13itch do you mean, because he hasn"t got big muscles? because to me he looks very very athletic! because he has near perfect balance if that ain"t the defination of Athleticism i"m a Dutchman.

[You13ow2Me13itch]

@dan32113 you say that like strength has nothing to do with it. dont be a dumbass

[Alu142]

look at 1:18 the face says " excause me africans its not my fault im the best"

[DavittFinol]

This is a very handy style of jump if you're skipping over a rocky river.

Congrats to the champ.

[ucheucheuche]

Look how Jonathan lands. It's not natural.

Maradona's got the hand of god. Jonathon's got the feet of god.

Dear God, stop leasing out your body parts, it's not fair. :(

[AvishekDrops]

@ucheucheuche what's unnatural about it?

[silva639]

Now no one jumps as he, with such ease...

[silva639]

White man can jump..

[plane15]

at the start of the jump his hair is brown, by the end his hair has turned grey.

[ChelseaFCAMERICA]

Mad white hops!!!!

[Walnut1871]

It's funny how people stereotype whites as not being able to jump. Look at this guy, he's freakin' beast.

[MrCeej9999]

@Walnut1871

Most of the best triple jumpers are actually white, for some reason.

After Edwards, Christian Ollsen dominated for years.

Edwards was dominant as he was so fast. If you're a very fast sprinter, you usually do the long jump. He did triple jump instead, so was way faster than anyone who's done it before or since.

The guy had a 10.17 100 metre personal best, and used to run relay legs for Great Britain

[Bugsy519]

Wow, 2 world records in one day, that's amazing :O

[letthepwnagebegin]

Not only can he jump but he is fast as hell!!!

[145bobby]

@letthepwnagebegin what is his time?

[letthepwnagebegin]

@145bobby He ran a 10.48

[145bobby]

@letthepwnagebegin fast as hell!!

[D3F1L3Dwrath2]

It's because he's an Edwards.

[junkybabes]

get in there jon my old mucker...

[superfruityy]

holy sheeeeeeeet. white boys got hops

[griffinator1312]

All I have to say is WOW

[MyLoveMongol]

@Ajb2423 that is what i said.

[EpicLegionzZ]

@Ajb2423 LMAO!! true tho

[thepicklebubble]

@Ajb2423 well thats plain racis 

[Ajb2423]

holy fucking shit hes not black.

[dan32113]

@Ajb2423 just like Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics, the greatest allround Basketball player of all time, also white!

[KGJumps]

@dan32113 not the greatest all around player of all time.

[JuliaGiselle]

MOrgen sind Bundesjugendspiele und meine Knöchel tun EXTREEM weh nach sportunterricht heute :/

What should I do ? :S

[gamerpro4268]

OMG!!! Hes white! and from England!

[mrhairsaviour]

what do you mean?

[DaBigCheeseLuigi]

He looked so causal doing that! His jump looked like he was just doing a little hop nto the sand!

[iSK8ALOTpureamazing]

he broke a record and then broke the new world record...OMG

[lolex169]

wtf his face after he knowledged it was world record xDDD

[H34DCR4CK3R23]

ENGLAND!

[FentenMenace]

holy shit. THAT IS JUST CRAZY

[saberking1992]

im 7 and i did 102'12....... -_- no one cares... a good jumper doesnt tell their distance they show it

[royb932]

finally i can be proud to be white and say, white people can jump:)

[501andStreetz]

@royb932

long though not high lol

[royb932]

@501andStreetz i beg to differ... look up stephan holm.. he high jumped 2.40 meters... world record is 2.42m

[olismartBHS]

@royb932 2.45m high jump actually.

[royb932]

@olismartBHS yea i realized that after i posted it oops...

[craig94music]

@501andStreetz they can jump high as well..

[smiska2]

@royb932

Finally? he did it 15 years ago in Gothenburgs world championships

[godochglad11]

@smiska2 yay sweden!

[tedfopreident]

@godochglad11 hes british

[123amsterdan456]

@royb932 OMG! where do you live? Still have stupid racist people here Go to hell fucking bitch

Ps: i am white.

[royb932]

@123amsterdan456 how is that racist??? you're a stupid fuck if you think that comment was racist..

[mrlionelaton]

@123amsterdan456

Relax man. There was really nothing negative behind that comment. He was just referring to a movie called White Men Can't Jump, and that it's ironic because a white guy holds the record. Do you have Youtube Tourette's?

[MUHBEHDHICOURAGE]

@royb932 u can be proud to be white but i am more proud than u to be black and say most of the world records by athletes are done by black people like me ;)

[MrCeej9999]

@MUHBEHDHICOURAGE

That's like saying, I'm proud to be white, as most things were invented by white people. ;)

[MrCeej9999]

@MUHBEHDHICOURAGE

@MUHBEHDHICOURAGE

That's like saying, I'm proud to be white, as most things were invented by white people.

The computer you're using was invented by a white guy. As was the internet. As was youtube

;)

[shane1g1]

@MUHBEHDHICOURAGE Sooo not true, I guess all you look at is sprinting and jumping. Which black people are generally better at because they have more fast twitch muscles, white people have more slow/medium twitch muscles which is better for strength endurance. Nearly all the worlds strongest men are white. Swimmers/rowers/powerlifting etc. Are the white dominated sports. Be proud of who you are, just don't think you're better than someone else we're all people.

[grantflip]

@shane1g1 i knew it, people dont believe me when i say black people can jump higher because of their naturally tighter wound achilles tendon, and now their fast twitch muscle fibers, i think im a black white person, i got hops

[cryoes]

@royb932

naw hes really a black guy in disguise..

[weemancoops]

@royb932 and he is not very tall so that is even more of a boost

[sicknick091]

@royb932 wt do u mean? white people hav achived more than any other race put together

[royb932]

@sicknick091 not in jumping terms...

[sicknick091]

@royb932 ow i thought u meant generally

[Alexander4never]

@royb932 And I'm proud to say black people can run

[royb932]

@Alexander4never us white people are getting there... as you can see it's half black people that are fast not full... HALF. that's half white too.. pretty soon straight germans running 9.5 100m. you'll see

[ScrubVids]

@Alexander4never when being chased by the cops

[yzrider822]

@gimmiethatcorn 7th grade too did 31 11

[Whatsfudenna]

amazing!!!

[guy2theToddhutch]

white men can jump!! length wise lol

[Lilaznlb5]

[JayBreez3y]

[mseg333]

[MightySandwich79]

@secondlife2 yup, looks like you need a second life after all, just look at your username... see?

[kylerownsx62]

[n3wbuo]

@kylerownsx62 Yeah, that sounds about right. lol, I don't think I can get anywhere close to 20 feet with even 1 jump... Insanely impressive.

[WasteAmerica]

Thats good. i did triple at one meet last year just for the piss of it and i jumped like 36 and took 1st by like 4 feet. then i did it last week as a joke. im a high jumper not a triple jumper.

[cky4life12345]

im getting 37.10 and a half in 8th grade i broke our school record and im hoping to get the long jump record

[WasteAmerica]

im gettin around 38 as a frshman...

[iboltsmytres]

@WasteAmerica im getting 38.1 in 8th grade

[WasteAmerica]

@iboltsmytres well that was my first triple jump. i never even practiced it. the day after i posted that i got 40.3 so what now homeboy?

[WasteAmerica]

@iboltsmytres sorry for sendin that 3 times. lol

[iboltsmytres]

@WasteAmerica this is my first year doing triple jump i think by next year ill be doing 40. somthin

[ikevinc]

im am sophomore high school . jumping 41 ft 2 in. =] is that considered good?

[RMullen412]

@ikevinc yeah i'm a sophmore too jumping around 40, which is good for my state, but it depends where you live. Most likely it's pretty damn good for a sophmore

[ZombieZomb1]

@RMullen412 Congrats you broke the world record.

[ZombieZomb1]

@ikevinc The long jump world record is 30 feet or so...

[Airman32292]

@ZombieZomb1 its 8.95 meters which is 29 ft. 4 3/4 in.

[7heSavior]

i'm 6 years old and jumped 90 feet

[52skulls]

@7heSavior

[YouBeeDaMan]

@7heSavior WTF are you doing on youtube O_o

[iTzRATED]

[sadiepup32]

How far did he go?

[wonger51]

holy crap dude this guy is insane...im a freshman in high school and im jumping 40 feet but thats just crazy...

[MultiTrackstar123]

this nigu is a beast

[JohnFPoirier]

There is a difference between the indoor and the outdoor record. Edwards still owns the outdoor and overall world record!

[6iwaf]

no,tamgho-amsalem 17.90 indoor world record(winter)

edwards free air(summer)

[Kosekans]

Yes it is.

[grillman7170]

not anymore. Broken yesterday by the French Tamgho-Amsalem

[renatoqtslah]

Nope.

That was the indoor world record

17.90

[RedYoshi3]

is that still the world record?

[basehead617]

@RedYoshi3 yes it is still the world record

[TheForgotten0nes]

lol, maybe its because Britain skips alot haha no offense to any brits

[spudciaran]

thats like 6m per step thats crazy

[fhtan]

not really spudciaran,more like

first jump 8m

2nd 4m

 last 6m.

[chooseit2]

@fhtan first jump 8m??

impossible since his long jump pb is 7.40m

[geovora043]

@chooseit2 his long jump pb has nothing with these jumps, he jumped 7.41 3 years prior to Gotenburg. His last phase was over 7m

[Sheldonscrony22]

HOLY CRAP

[fballplayer2004]

stop with the metric system it drivin me crazy lol wats this guys wr converted to feet

[Standin27]

60 ft 1/4 in, the 1/4 may be wrong but it is over 60ft

[mankey1212]

dude the is not 60ft like 20 something

[Theroymustang]

its from the first jump not the last jump. His total distance is 60ft.

[LucasI3434]

they start counting the distance from the first jump and end at where he hit the sand. that's why it's called TRIPLE jump.

[awdturbonos93]

@mankey1212 bro shut up ur an idiot how is 20 feet gonna be a world record? if u knew anything about triple jump, u would know that they measure where ur first jump was, thats why its TRIPLE JUMP

[bigmacke007]

@fballplayer2004 wow, use some fucking math.

[ViolinVIBRATO]

my best is 12.27m

[TYPHOONATHLETE96]

@ViolinVIBRATO wotz ur age

[ViolinVIBRATO]

i'm 15.

[ElliotHeath100]

@ViolinVIBRATO thats pretty good for your age man keep it up

[ViolinVIBRATO]

[ElliotHeath100]

@ViolinVIBRATO amazing lol :)

[ViolinVIBRATO]

ahah yeaaah

[TYPHOONATHLETE96]

@ViolinVIBRATO ur good then :D :DD

[ViolinVIBRATO]

thanks :)

[LiamanTV]

White man can't Jump?

[Ali74]

Going beyond the measure board is ridiculous..increasing it 2nd time crowned it

15 year old world record, no one remotely close since

[chooseit2]

is 12.40 good for someone who is 5'7" and runs 12.9 in the 100m?

[raffaelet3]

my personal best is 14,88 XD
