Despite not being on the list, I want to pay a small tribute to the best Spanish long jumper in history, Yago Lamela, with a record of 8.56 meters. Yago was for a while, able to face the great Iván Pedroso. Rest in peace Yago.

Carl remained undefeated for eleven years, from 1981 to 1991, achieving 65 consecutive successes. He exceeded 8.53m 71 times. That is simply unbelievable

Carl lewis will always be the GOAT. His consistency was amazing and 4 Olympic golds untouchable. Its not even close. Bob Beamon and Mike Powell jumped further. But had no CONSISTENCY. Lewis won an Olympic Gold in 1984 before Powell even knew he wanted to be a long jumper. And he won and Olympic gold in 1996. When Powell wish he wasnt a long jumper anymore. That's just insane. 12 years of dominance.

Maybe this competition is staying in 1991 AND THIS AMAZING DUEL LEWIS/POWEL!!!

I was 15 and i remember that;)

My ranking: 1. Lewis 2 Pedroso 3. Powell 4. Phillips 5. Saladino 6. Beamon 7. Owens 8. Myricks 9.Rutherford 10. Emmian

I agree. Lewis has more jumps over 28’ than anyone, and I don’t think it is close.

[johnduda]

One must consider that Jesse Owens held the BJ record longer then any before or after him. He was dominating during his time. He should be number 3. Carl lewis is no doubt the best LJ'er ever.

Soon Miltos Tentoglou on this list. 🇬🇷

[ZoomZoomBoom]

Will this include Juan Miguel Echevarria? While he is only 19 years old he is starting to get recognition for his athletic ability. The kid comes from Cuba and could quite legitimately be added to this list sooner rather than later.

The best long jump video on YouTube ! The best videos, the most important informations and facts. Just everything on its place :) Thank you for this video ! :D

[granvillewalkerjr.]

Antonin, your compilation was great, and the background music wasn't bad. Hopefully you'll explore the stellar world of Team USA greatest female sprinters, spanning from Wyomia Tyus and Wilma Rudolph to Carmelita Jeter and Allyson Felix. Well done!

[zerryrue]

Look at some of these African American American Legends, very inspiring to watch great video

[uzoegbeogu]

To the degree that it may be accurate, its a very good video!

[cedricdecharme]

yes certainly Athlet of thE Century...AGREED

[will.isnull]

Just saying. If Bob Beamon just landed differently, that would have been 9m+. The height he achieved is bonkers.

[reinaldoartidiello]

Ivan Pedroso: 9, 03 and save the bullshit about the wind. There was "some" guy in front of the anemometer at the moment so we'll never know whether the wind was within the legal margin, or not.

3:26 You never see people jump that high anymore

[JavierRuiz-ubrh]
