    I see a lot of the same questions being asked since this video started to gain more traction lately, and thought I'd compile them with answers here. Q: Where is Tentoglou's 8.60? A: I made this video before his 8.60 jump. I will make an updated video at some point when more athletes surpass 8.50. Read description for updates. Q: Where is Pedroso's 8.96? A: The organizers ruled the wind reading to be invalid and thus it is not recognized as the world record. Whether you agree with that or not is up to you but that is the official stance of World Athletics, the governing body. I'm simply basing this video on their list (see description) and it wouldn't make sense for me to deviate from that by picking and choosing among unrecognized results. Q: Where is Lewis' 8.91 or Echevarria's 8.92/8.83? A: All those jumps were wind aided. This video only takes into consideration jumps with a tail wind of 2.0m/s or less, which is considered a "wind legal" jump. If you got someone else you think has jumped 8.50+ but is not on the list, this is probably why. Q: Why did you include those athletes you didn't find any video for? A: For list completion. It wouldn't make sense in my opinion to exclude them from the list because of that. I also wanted to give you a visual representation of those athletes by finding their best jump possible.

    Μiltos Tentoglou the greek one had a nice 8.60 meters jump early 2021 and won gold medal at olympic games in japan ......8.41 was his jump
  • @MrJackHackney
    Lewis vs Powell Tokyo Worlds 1991 . One of the greatest field event duals of all time!
  • @Kalkstajn
    Carl Lewis. Winning the Long Jump in 4 straight Olympics. Insane. What a jumper! 5 of the 8 longest jumps ever, 8 of the 15.
  • @FrankJamger
    Carl Lewis is the greatest long jumper in history and there is no question of it. Lewis had 5 legal jumps over 8.75m and 8 legal jumps over 8.70 m, while no one else had more than one. Lewis won four straight Olympic gold medals to Powell's zero (both won two WC golds). Powell had 2 legal jumps over 8.66m, while Lewis had 11 of them. Beamon had only one legal jump over 8.5m, which was done at altitude and a barely legal +2.0 wind.

    Iván Pedroso from Cuba, nine times world champion, 5 times indoors and 4 times outdoors, as well as Olympic champion in 2000; jumped 8.96 meters in Sestriere, Italy in 1995 surpassing Mike Powell's world record by one centimeter; this jump was surrounded by controversy, since at first the wind registered by the anemometer considered the jump valid to be homologated as a world record, but after an investigation 🤔 by the International Athletics Federation, it was decided to annul the record, since at the time of the jump there was a judge in front of the anemometer obstructing the real measurement of the wind. His teammates from the national team mediate jumps of more than 9 meters in training, without a doubt: GOAT 🐐
  • @TheJohnCooperShow
    Bob beamons is not just the most astounding long jump of all time (given the time in history) but it’s also the most astounding record of all time
  • @cp070476
    Watched Lewis vs Powell live on tv. 1991 I was 15! Brilliant battle.
  • @georgec2894
    Nice all-time collection of videos. Unbelievable in some ways how hard it is to find 8.50-8.70m jumps, but you've nicely collected what's available
  • @ormeormeable
    The controversial record of Pedroso's 8.96 could be a bonus clip.
  • @_Myns
    Yago Lamela, if 8,56 with a lot of major depression trouble in his live till he died, imagine if he had a healthy nervous sistem that gave him more continuity and consistency training and of course competing . . Immense talent! Rest in peace Yago.
  • @wb1092
    Thank you for putting this together for long jump lovers.
  • @SilencedButNotForgotten
    To the viewers: Greek athlete Tentoglu did 8.60m during the European championships this year.
  • @lexsoft3969
    Good compilation, I appreciate your efforts.
  • @joelhoeve
    Nice video! I'm exited to see what Echevarria and Gayle can get in the next 5 years!
  • @CrockettCrockett
    just very amazing those guys can jump over 8 meters, if you go inside the stadium and check out the bunker, those distances for our average guys are really hard to believe 👍🏻
