Best Long Jumpers of all Time (2020) (Men)｜Top 29 List｜HD

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.

What is the song at the beginning?

The blacks are the best jmpers 😅

Nenad Stekic Yugoslavia 8,54 Mexico OI 1968

It's unbelievable how after more than 30 years nobody has even come close to Carl Lewis 8.80+ jumps, and of course to Powell's record

Yago Lamela RIP ❤

I think the guy from Pawn Stars made this video...

How far do they reckon Mike powels 5th round jump was?

Bro got non of the real record videos🤦🏻‍♂️ where is these numbers coming from then?

If Beamons butt didnt touch after his feet it would if been the standing record.

Very bad research. Some are wrong and a lot without a video. Dont release something like that.

Lewis and Pedroso, GOATS

Anyone who’s ever seen a live long jump will know, the guys really do fly through the air. It’s incredible athleticism to make the body fly and stretch through almost 9 meters

Watched Lewis vs Powell live on tv. 1991 I was 15! Brilliant battle.

Iván Pedroso es con diferencia el mejor..el más consistente...en la cita de Sestriere, Italia, le quitaron el récord mundial..alegando viento a favor,y no fue así...de todas formas considero que ha sido el 👑

On ne saura jamais si il était chargé....

Best video ever. Unfortunately I couldn't find it, so there's this one 😆

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.

So a compilation of not found video

Pedroso jumped 8.96 with 1.2m/s wind but due to a referee too close to wind speed meter the result was not officialized as new world record

Bob Beamon still the greatest long jumper in my opinion. He had much more inertia after landing so he could jump further if he stretched out more.

There's a big doping question mark behind Powell's 8.95.

No men have jumped over 8.7m in the past one decade, and no men have jumped over 8.8m in the past three decades. Is men’s jumping ability declining or it’s the measurement got better?

Black people!

8.91 carl at tokyo

Lewis 8.91 in 1991? He beat Beamon's record before Powell if I remember correctly

dope makes miracle in high jump. they should legalice all dopes then +10 meter is happen

"no video found" ....

Bob Beamon jumped over the moon in 68 🤩

the whole video is video not found and show some shitty jumps

Pedroso 8.71m no video found... best I could come up with is this 8.96m....

Interesting how the form and jump execution changes between athletes.

Imagine jumping over 29' and taking second. This is the best LJ competition in history

carl lewis did jump 8,91 but the wind was to high,

(no video found) but i found his sister

Cringe

Miltos Tetoglou re tanespou

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.

So the top 29 athletes who jumped over 8.50m are ALL men? I think this is a very SEXIST list. Where are all the women?

Thank you for putting this together for long jump lovers.

Beamon's record lasted 23 years. Powell's has lasted 31 years +.

Powell 8.99 is super hard to broke but never on list of record because of wind factor.. powell unbroken record when he compete with lewis 8.95..

I was fortunate enough to see the 1991 duel between Lewis and Powell as it happened. Possibly the greatest long jump competition ever.
