11. why dont they record from the side so we can see how far it is? This angle is absolutely horrible
12. I will never understand records that stand from that long ago .. in every other event, records get destroyed because we have better running shoes, better supplements, better training mechanisms, and a better understanding of form.  This makes no sense to me how a man from 1968 has a top 3 long jump to this day. Take the 100m for example.. back then, a 10.2 would be a gold medalist, now we have people running sub 10 like it's nothing. Same goes for every event after that, as well as the high jump.
13. OLYMPICS IS THIS YEAR PEOPLE
14. I was there that day, actually didn't miss a single day of track and field at the Estadio Universitario. was sitting in the opposite side to the jump competition and even though I didn't see it, remember a collective gasp from many in the crowd. It has to be the longest unbeaten Olympic record in history. None of the other competitors came close to the old record, so much for blaming Mexico city's altitude...
