Most sports records are broken incrementally by small margins and frequently don’t last long. Bob Beamon‘s long jump at the 1968 Olympics broke the prior record by over 21 inches and lasted almost 23 years. It was an amazing performance.

Bob Beamon in 1968 Olympics. First to hit 29 feet in long jump (& first to break *28* feet.) Astounding https://t.co/XqcCuPvCqK
