do you know how many ppl should be doing lj just because of their pure speed... asafa, mo greene, BEN JOHNSON, justin gatlin, shawn crawford and many more... it would be amazing if they all maximized their tallent!!!
oooooo ur in trouble now tht u read this keep reading and something good will happen to u and if u don't the dark world will do very bad things to u A boy named Thomas was walking then he heard a noise in the woods He thought it was just a rabbit so he kept on walking then he saw a flash then died Now that u read this repost this on 10 different Youtube videos in less than 24 hours or you will see a bloody dirty face in the window and he will kill you with a knife HURRY u dont have much time
I have a question: if a jumper jumps past the world record but ends up losing (that is someone else later in the competition jumped farther), does the first jumper get the world record officially recorded (for those few minutes until it is broken by the eventual winner of the competition)?
I believe so. In the current Olympics, for example, the American 4x100 swimming relay team set a world record in the preliminaries. That night, the Americans officially broke the world record again. Not a perfect analogy, but yes the jumper would've held the world record for a few minutes.
If I remember correctly, Powell posted this WR jump while Lewis was putting together the best long jump series in history. I believe that Lewis had 4 (out of 6 jumps in the series) measured at over 28 feet and still lost to Powell.
Wow, that was a perfect landing. :) If you watch it, he lands with his feet way far out in front of him and then uses his feet to pull himself forward after the landing, so that his butt and head don't touch the sand until after the feet. :) Brilliant... pulling forward with his feet on landing to keep the rest of him from touching the sand earlier.
@sfujimoto14 For your feeble mind's sake, I do hope you realize the irony in your previous response; either that, or you must be severly "retarted".

I said "I think" and it's not about powell, about bolt doing the long jump, its my opinion, and thats my right

for long jump you dont go for height. its better to go at a low angle to maximize distance.
