..................it's still hard to fathom beating the long jump record by nearly 2 feet in 1968. Of all Olympic moments, this one ranks right up there with the 1980 US hockey team. The record was so badly beaten, the in-place measuring equipment was inadequate to measure what he'd done (they had to get a tape measure).
