Let's watch Bob Beamon as he charges down the runway first time out and takes off in striking fashion to land way out where no man has even dared dream of before at an extraterrestrial WR of 8.90 (2.0) to nail Olympic gold sight unseen in the LJ in Mexico (A) 57 years ago today.

On this day at #MexicoCity1968, Bob Beamon's 8.90m jaw-dropping leap put him in the history books! 😮‍💨 57 years later, the men's Olympic long jump record remains unbroken... Did you know that his jump was so long that the optical measuring device slid off its rail before reaching the mark? They ended up using an old-fashioned steel tape to announce the distance. #Olympics | Olympics
