2000 Olympics long jump

[sayenshin]

thousands of hours for one lonely jump! looks cool!!

[AMAROLAS]

Ivan coaches Tamgho now eh

[randomperson331]

jai's hair held him back, all he needed was a haircut

[cigerweed]

one of the best head-to-head battles in olympic sport you will see

[ilnn408]

LOL the look on ivan's face when he waits for the flag 2:40

[santeenl]

is the speed of the cuban guy 33km/h or 38km/h? I assume 38 because the Australian got over 40, but it looked like 33

[bossofalltime]

@santeenl It was 38.10km/h mate :-)

[santeenl]

@bossofalltime thx I could not read it properly, little bit low quality

[bossofalltime]

@santeenl Haha yeah I know.....this truly was one of the great finals, just like the commentators say it is up there with 1991 World Championships albeit not as good in terms of distance....

[wickedtron34]

jai torima is using a simple sail technique and his speed is amazing the fact he is getting out to 8.4 on just speed and a good landing my gosh that is impressive

[Manuelcr7]

omg this with guy have top speed of 41 km/h! He would run the 100m easy below 10s !

[bossofalltime]

@Manuelcr7 No way....he'd have to maintain that or higher for much longer than his run-up.....I don't doubt he could've done a fast 100m, 10.2-10.3 range? That is very fast for someone who specializes purely in Long Jump

[scooternscooby]

I was there, amazing atmosphere

[sirg85]

this ist he stuff that the really hard men ar made of...

Ivan Pedroso

[kp100591]

jumping jai, it's time to fly!

[2ndSamuel2]

Commentator at 4:36 trying to add some drama, but Australia had already won a silver medal at the 1984 Olympics.

[nilsi1212]

[bejucal75]

[MsErik98]

@bejucal75 ASI MISMO ES HERMANO Y SALTO 8,96 UNA VEZ PERO NO VALIO POR ALGO DEL VIENTO O ALGO ASI PARA MI UN DESCARO PORQUE FUE VALIDO EL SALTO NO FAO CREO QUE DE VERDA HUBIERA ROTO LA BARRERA DE LS 9 METROS IGUAL FUE UN GRANDE IVAN PEDROSO EL BOLADOR DE CUBA!!!!!

[Pakiljo83]

Grandissimo Ivan Pedroso!!!

[arleymc1]

Que susto pasé ese dia, nunca lo voy a olvidar, ese autraliano dio tremenda pelea pero nuestro Saltamontes dejo bien claro porque el es un GRANDE, HA SIDO UNO DE LOS MOMENTOS MAS GRANDES VIVIDOS POR ELDEPORTE CUBANO. GRACIASA IVAN POR HACERNOS ESE REGALO.

[FOREVERTWENTYONE11]

[Danny9734745]

They guy under my comment is a gay racist

[Shanniquitie]

why are there so many racial comments? of course white people can jump. they also invented the olympics.

[yulian1234]

[KevYuuuu]

Hahahaha "so smooth AND so long"

[MagicPoint125]

one of the best event ever!!

[nuevitas25]

PEDROSO THE BEST

[deejaylaw43]

[tholomon]

@deejaylaw43 thats wat she sed :D

[RoCXKe7]

@deejaylaw43 thts wat she said

[alvaromr89]

White men can jump!

[trajkovski1993]

i agree ;)

[enjoiboy385]

@

trajkovski1993 I love your videos!!!!!!!!!

[trajkovski1993]

thank you :)

[chooseit2]

:P lol this counts as a different type of jumping but yes white people can jump :D

[CAZZERNERY]

wow! watch my video series called long jump

[spyridonm]

Jai Taurima????

Does his mother ever heard of him?

Has anybody heard of him before or after these games?

What he was on? :-))))))))

Come on very clean athletes you have. Hahahahaahahaaaaaaaha

[dock411]

Does his mother ever heard of him?

Did your mother even send you to school?

[jumperuk]

38kmh is 10.55 m/s speed and 35kmh is 9.7 m/s speed.

[speedyo93]

what does that 38.10km/h at 0:41 represent? I presume take off speed?

[bossofalltime]

Yes it is take-off speed. If they're laser gun measurements I'd take them with a grain of salt as far as accuracy is concerned. Nevertheless, Jai was bombing down the runway. Pedroso lost speed after his hamstring injury in 1996.

[alvaromr89]

Fucking Pedroso always won in the fucking last jump hahaha

[santip9]

LCaaroe is right.... that sure is a nice running technique by Taurima. One of the best long jump competitions in the history of the Olympics

[myrpgbs2l]

it was very thrilling competition !!

and winning an olympic medal in your country is more thrilling !!!

[TheRazzy99]

is the 2000 Olympics Womens Long Jump on here?

[LCaaroe]

damn that australian dude has a nice running technique

[cubaguille]

tremenda competencia esa entre pedroso y taurima

[shadycd2]

[triplestep1829]
