[Bsc3al]

7 people who watched this are white...

[HannahSoLame]

@Bsc3al don't be racist cunt i can jump 17 feet in the long jump and i am only in 8th grade.

[starcraftmeraj]

@HannahSoLame bullshit lol u cant jump 4 nuthing.

[HannahSoLame]

@starcraftmeraj kiss my ass racist nothing.

[parkourninjas100]

@HannahSoLame i was at a track meet and we were screwed when a 8th grader jump 23 ft

and kick all our asses

[amp3cx10000a7jp]

The broad jump at this time thinks that the level was the highest.

It doesn't yet reach 9m though 20 years pass from that.

Though excess by 9m was expected of [pedoroso].

The record of 10m will be some day recorded sooner or later.

The triple jump comes out by 19m and as many as 20m.

[naijaboy777]

mike powell has more effort. carl lewis needed a little more edgy adrenaline.

[Carots420]

Holy shit he can fly.

[YungahScarpz]

what is the commentators name?

[StoneAngus]

Red Bull Gives You Wings.

[jeanlucrolland7]

these guys r mutans

[cOOkies3006]

i could on only get to 10 ft 8 in........

[kyleandrewsteve]

i can jump 14 feet my brother can jump 16 feet

[ZhaoPao]

I did that once... With a rubberband...

[KingOfClay]

Epic.

[Hypocyber]

i did that once... in my dreams

[InterGuru1908]

best of the best

[uarhara]

it sure is

[dhollseed]

thanks for uploading, nice to hear the original commentary.

[chrisb1469]

beamon still holds the olympic record with his jump powell broke the world record beamons is more impressive due to the fact that he broke the standing record by nearly 2 feet akin to powell jumping 31 ft which is clearly impossible in todays times imho

[porkisgood4u]

u know, I really wanted Bob Beamon's record to stay because that's a perfect jump, perfect event, Olympics.

I guess we can't argue about sports, there's always someone better in future.

[primoboy360]

and you can train those "fasttwitch" muscles

[Stevenup7004]

lol 1:04

[SIMOPARAS]

quite crappy commentator... but best competition ever! that other "original" video is just perfect =)

[jigglyfidda125]

white man cant jump

he could probably do that matrix 'roof-to-roof' jump

[pe67nut]

1:04 through 1:06 was lol

[zoeludlow]

agreed

[PrecogDE]

Still so impressing.

[oc16chan]

i saw once a woman got a jump over 63 meters...

-----she jumped off a building...~

[Kwaczek]

Hehe, how he hug referee on the end :-D

[tyketsai]

im 13 and i only jump 4.70

[Hoob22]

I'm 12 years old and I can long jump 100 metres.

Consequently 100metre sprint is easy for me.

[AznVietboy2170]

100metres? my ass u no how long that is? that would be a world record

[Hoob22]

I was joking haha

[milliwafers]

I AM 11 AND MY LONGEST WAS 14.1

[twindragonslegend]

u do kno that 100 meters is damn near 300 feet right ud be like a freaking airplane taking off if you can jump that long which i seriously doubt. learn your measurements but im sure you meant 10 meters

[metaldelph]

It was a joke, numbnuts

[koopthepoopscoop]

its more than 300

[Jcordeiro55]

lmfao, you wish, that would be more than 10 times the world record set by people in their peak physical condition, and hand picked to be the best in their countries, nice try buddy

[McKottfars]

I'm awful at long jump (and t&f in general), haven't even broke 13 ft, haha

[89stevesmith]

im in 7th grade and i jump 17ft 1 inch :D

[battlemaster13]

geez my school record is only 24ft

[Flip9123]

well im a middle school who just jumped 14 feet and 2 inches and i lost to this kid who jumped 14 and 7 inches bitches

[EvanHershey]

When I was in middle school....i sucked lol. My best was 16ft 5in. However, there was a kid in my school who matured way early and in 8th grade he jumped 21 feet. Beat that kid. (Flip9123)

[tjerwin1]

The only thing I have to say about these long jumping competitions is that maybe they should have them inside so the wind wouldn't effect the determinations of the distances of the jumps.

[jairus]

these guys are the best commentators i've ever seen...perfect for the event

[QueenKamal]

his wife caise powell is our trach head coach i actually meet him and saw his silver medal he waz funny love it

[Lemon77UG]

Shows what heavy competition can produce, huh?

[AustinHome]

Wth lol i jumped 13 ft 2 days ago lol i am in middle school

[ndarkened1]

hate to burst your bubble, but they measure in meters. You jumped about 3.96 meters.

[nKhid]

you actually thought you beat the world record? HA HA.. owned..

[Nikolastanis]

hahaha thats priceless

[UpRoundTheSanga]

lol dude im in middle scool and i jumped 5.43m

so think about wat u say before u determine that u r the best

[AustinHome]

wow... all i said was i jumped 13ft i idnt say that was good. maybe u should think about what im saying before you determine you know what your talking about

[LTMTutka]

Im a sophmore and on my first long jump ever i got 14ft 4 and a half inches but another kid on distance on his first try ever got about 17 and a half feet....thats amazing...

[battlemaster13]

im a freshman and i jump 19.5 1/2

[LTMTutka]

yeah, but im not a long jumper. ive never been taught how to do it the right way. there are kids at my school who can jump over 23ft

[fluff125]

People accuse many athletes of using steriods just because they've had positive steroid tests. However on Mythbusters they proved that it is easy to test positive for hours afterward just by eating one bagel.

[chebss]

wow i love how you carnt spell? where ever your from stay there.

[pie365]

wow i love how all the basterds in europe or where ever the hell all these people are from have to make a pathetic excuse like there usin steroids just bc were better at everything

[funkeymunkey106]

That was a fantastic competition, I've got really strong memories of it

[FenTints]

It must suck to live in another country and watch in awe at America's many successes. Perhaps jealousy is why all you snotty foreigners allege our athletes of blood doping and using steroids.

[jerarbel]

carl lewis is never doped. he is and will be the greatest athletic champion in the world

[coldtaxer]

actually daley thompson is the worlds greatest ever athelete,AND hes not american.all of the Americans are doped thats fact

[AntonTheGreatNr1]

all of the Americans are doped thats fact

[gurujaba]

its no wonder that a black man holds the world record, he's black so he's the best at everything........simple mathematics :)

[maikolmaikolmaikol]

oh God..........I have become a hedgehog since I saw this video...they're the Michael Johnsons of the long jump!!!

[DiaF1N1w]

he is gay

[nkasenides]

bangobana you fucking moron.

[bangobanana]

fucking dopers, all americans

[AshuSprinter]

hay my best when in 200 was 22.5 seconds when i was 22.how is it?

[tigran1116]

my friend it's a good time but for someone at 16 years old or for somebody who does not training very hard!!!when i was 17 i had 22.70!!

keep trying and you will become better and better and better!!!

[AshuSprinter]

woow..22.70 at 16 gr8! In india nobody have this at 16...mostly clock 22.7 at 20.Thnks but i have pulled my hamstring and i have to go for a operation to continue.i have got a serious injury.Now i working as software engineer nd no time for running.:-(

But u can try dear frnd u can even go for international race. if at 16 u can clock 22.7 thn i think u can clock around 21.00 or 20.00 when u will be between 20 to 25.

[tigran1116]

it was a good time but there were athletes even faster than me with times around 22secs!!!Most of them never became good athletes!!!I stopped running at 20 but i will start again this year.Today i bought new running shoes!!Now i am 25 and i do not expect to do big times but i will do my best and i will see....I wish you good recovery and i hope to see you a day in a world champ!!

[buzzymcbuzz]

jutted growfuchingers FT.....L

[SPARTONmAn]

wow.i thought i could jump far.well not realy.but it's my best event with 16 feet.although i can run a 27 second 200.lol

[p1nkpk3]

im 13 and i do 200m in like 26.4

[aznbeech]

thats bull sry

[SPARTONmAn]

actually there is someone on my track team a school year under me who does it in 22 seconds.age doesnt realy matter though.

[Supercell2]

One of the worst injuries I ever saw at a sporting event was in the long jump pit. Cause a kid landed with his legs locked. UGLY!!

[Z3PP3LIN]

gutted

[painkiller1]

is the record still at 8.95?

[perkiomenville]

yes

[Bulch65]

If white guys can't jump...then why is the Triple jump world record held by a white guy?

[sfgox10]

actually look at white men dunks, there are white men taht can jump, african decent, yes more fast twitch fibers in the muscles is why, and black people cant think? no so what if white people have higher test scores just as blacks are better jumpers

[Sandi0001]

OH NO! White men can't jump but they can do everything else better. Stfu.

[yomama123abc]

notice how there both black... white men cant jump

[tampere2006]

sad how carl lewis has now been found out to be a druggie

[sathernut]

Your a retard though.

[mordrid84]

too bad you don't know the difference between "there" and "they're" racist retard!

[hippyfuks]

Lets see Ivans, and Jai's jumps from Sydney 2000 Olympics. Now that was a great Competition!!!

[clementckw]

can any1 teach me how to nail a perfect landing? i always land standing up...

[painkiller1]

practice "bum landings". before you land you want to stick out your legs and land on your ass, then next time don't land on your ass but absorb the landing by bending your knees and roll forward or recover.

something like that...

[Knockturnnall]

yeah. I agree with Scatman Mike does like awkward, Carl is more consistent and looks to have better form. But you can't argue that Mike got the job done. I am currently working on the hitch. His hitch is so strong even if it is that ugly.

[jebjoncula]

The greatest longjump contest ever seen.

[scatman44]

I was at the American Champs in New York earlier that year! The pit was right along the stands, so we saw everything. In Tokyo, Carl must've been real pissed with three 29 foot jumps to silver! Especially against a normally uncoordinated and inconsistent Powell (first jump was 25-8!). However, great 8.95 leap by Powell. But if I were his coach, I would have him jump via the Hang, due to his horrible coordination in the air! He would've jumped 9 meters had he Hanged!

[Knockturnnall]

Ooh I posted before I read this. I disagree the hang doesn't give more or less distance in jump. It is easier to control. The hitch arguably gives you a better landing position which i personally find wicked hard.

[jery93]

hi im a 13 yr old guy and from the msg u wrote u seem to be quite professional in long jump so do you mind giving me some tips pls??? id be really happy to recive back from you

]

[scatman44]

I'll admit, I'm not a coach, but am a fan of that sport. So excuse the "if I were his coach comment". Still believe that Powell's hitch may have been problematic, if not for that 29-4.5. With regard to your comment, many coaches do say that one should not hitch until adulthood. But some do allow it. My HS coach was old school, believing in blind handoff passes in the 4x4. But check with your coach. Let him know of any discomfort with your jump technique, so proper adjustments can be made.

[jery93]

10q very much

[kingfish4242]

Carl Lewis,Calvin Smith,Michael Johnson,and Mike Powell are probably the last of drug free great track and field atheletes.

[Savaric86]

You actually think *one* of these was drug free=

[maureenOWW]

How very american of you. Have you never heard of Colin Jackson, Jonathan Edwards, Paula Radcliffe, and those are just some of the UK's world record holders and olympic/world champions. Now think of how many countries are in europe and africa, and see how silly you sound...(and you can't include Powell alongside Lewis and Johnson, that's silly, one freak jump doesn't make a great athlete)

[perkiomenville]

You left out Eddie the Eagle. HA!

[andrew2great]

hhaa awww... tht was soo cute... he gave the officials a hug XD hahah~

[lazur1]

Powell broke Beamon's 23 year old record by less than 2 1/2 inches. Beamon had broken Ralph Boston's,(who broke the record six times in the first five years of the eight he held the record), record by 1 foot, 9 1/2 inches! (This was 2 FEET 9 INCHES better than Owens' record.)

[lazur1]

Actually, no sign at all of anyone even coming close.

[Wookie325]

Yeah, and even Mike Powell and Carl Lewis themselves, didn't come close to jumping as far as they did at those world championships, after the world championships.

[lazur1]

Jumpers don't take drugs,the added muscular body weight is counter-productive. Jumpers don't blood dope, that's for endurance. Jesse Owens' record stood for 25 years, Bob Beamon's record stood for 23 years, and this record is already over 15 years old, with little sign of it being broken in the near future.

[jaym8]

i was 7 or 8 at the time and i think i was watching it with my grandad never understood that was far just thought what ever now i understand his achievement

[yj1989]

u think every 1 takes drugs

[shiznaz17]

ur an idiot

[SuperJoe22]

blood dopers fo sure!

[sexysarina]

another drugs ehanced performance...look in Lewis' face,it looks like an ols sponge

[PopwarSkater14]

Your an idiot. It's the olympics. You think they don't test you for drugs?

[AlexProduction]

I think he knows that for sure, but as many probably know, Carl Lewis has used illegal drugs,- even if i didn't tested positive in this competition.

[madcek]

actually it is the world championship... but they would still test for drugs...

[HelloYoungPadawan]

"Are you sure you're still not 7-8? "Me and my family was in a zoo"... Nice grammar"

Hypocrite.

The proper grammar for what you said is, "Are you sure you're not still 7-8?"

[Jliad01]

awesome

[twctopcat]

Best night of athletics i remember. Was 7 but i still remember. That was a great Worlds.

[davefan12]

OmFG.Thats cool!! Mike powell..thats my name!!!

[MadelineSophia]

that's crazy. i'll never jump that far. those jumps are amazing

[guitarskillzzz]

no shit u wont lol. its unhuman :p

[Zoodar]

i remember when i was like 7-8 years and me and my family was in a zoo and there whas a long jump pit... i jumped as long as a racoon i think, and in the end there was a picture of mike powell jumping and i never understood how he could jump that long...

[jackniggz]

Are you sure you're still not 7-8? "Me and my family was in a zoo"... Nice grammar

[Zoodar]

excuse me, but my english isn't my main language and i saw my mistake but i thought it was pretty useless to write another comment with a correction since i guess you understand my comment(!)

[moinllieon]

Visco, the record set here is 29ft 4-3/8 inches. Good luck.

[markamahabir]

Amazing performances by both Mike Powell and Carl Lewis. We'll probably never see two men jump over 8.80m in the same competition again. Carl probably could have jumped further if the wind didn't act up on him but Powell could have also went further if the wind was a bit stronger during his record-breaking jump. I heard the Powell was attempting a comeback a few years ago.

[sharif33]

8.9

[honzaskotak]

Twaddle! If the wind was a bit stronger during record-breaking jump, he would only overstep again...
