The World Record Discrepancy

In the 1991 World Track & Field Championships, Mike Powell set the still standing long jump world record at 8.95 meters, and what an epic athletic moment it was. For over 30 years now, no athlete has been able to match or surpass this leap, except for one special athlete from Cuba, who in the early summer of 1995, made history.

It's ridiculous that there's only one anemometer at an event, given what's at stake. It's also ridiculous that no-one asked the official to move.

@2themoon863 2 года назад

Look at the weather conditions, you couldn’t see from one end of the runway for the long jump to the pit at the other end; it wouldn’t be surprising if no official could see the guy standing next to the gauge at the time…

I can't wait to see someone clear 9 meters. Even if it's wind assisted. Right now the longest jump ever is a wind aided 8.99 from Mike Powell.

@davidhooper259 2 года назад

Think about all the things that have to go right. Powell was an amazing jumper but not particularly fast or a powerful runner like Carl Lewis. Sprinter over the last 35 years have became increasingly stronger (maybe with or without steroids) but have for the most part abandoned jumps. History shows 29 feet is nearly impossible. Beaman jumped 29’2” at altitude and nearly by mistake with as many fouls he had. I think the next 29 foot jumper will have to be a sub 10 second 100m sprinter with at least 38” plus vertical jump. However the way long jump is promoted and sprinters just sprint now-it will be another 30 years.

Not all proven performance enhancing drugs/hormones are on WADA’s banded list either so it not entirely cheat proof. Besides testosterone(not the designer analogs) leaves the body pretty quickly.

One can afterwards say, that the organization failed the expectations, but still cannot blame Pedroso for anything...

And Pedroso would have been the beneficiary of this chicanery. Tell you what. Let’s include the what ifs. Include this jump and we’ll also include the Carl Lewis jump which was ruled a foul and most people dispute that. Most people there called it a clean jump.

But in terms of wow moments for long jumpers.... it's difficult to argue. Plus, it still LOOKS like the greatest leap of all-time. His air time, his height... His unusual style ... all make that jump the best for me. On top of that, he destroyed the previous WR with that leap. Something that'll never be repeated even if Mike Powell's WR is broken.

One other interesting fact is the fog that existed. Water vapor is lighter than air, not heavier as so many people describe it. This is why we see fogs lift, clouds high in the sky and not at ground level. So, this great jumper not only had the advantage of altitude, he had even thinner air to jump through. Less resistance. What a jump, for sure, under any circumstances! *Does anyone recall Carl Lewis supposedly fouling a jump at altitude that many claim was over 30 feet?

@martinpattison8916 2 года назад

Fog is due to the water vapour condensing to water droplets, so it is actually denser.

@bradreid6057 2 года назад

@@martinpattison8916 Water vapor (H2O) is composed of one Oxygen atom and two Hydrogen atoms. At 18 atomic units, water vapor is lighter than diatomic Oxygen (32 units) and diatomic Nitrogen (28 units). The more water vapor that displaces the other gases, the less dense that air will become. Ask any pilot: Humidity affects the way an airplane flies because of the change in pressure that accompanies changes in humidity. As the humidity goes up, the air pressure for a given volume of air goes down. This means the wings have fewer air molecules to affect as they are pushed through the airmass (to create lift). Fewer molecules = less lift. But, for a non-aerodynamic long jumper, it simply means jumping through less resistance. Still? A super great jump!!!

@martinpattison8916 2 года назад

@@bradreid6057 I am well aware that water vapour is less dense than air. I was making the point that fog contains water droplets (i.e. liquid). Since fog typically occurs in cooler conditions, the lower temperature may be a more important factor, pV=nRT or p = ρRT.

The end of the board is not the line of a fair or foul jump. The last 10-12cm of the board is a piece of clay so it is easily identified if the jumper made a mark in it to tell if the jump is good or not. Watching the slowed jump it's easy to see his toe is easily 5cm past the end of the clay area of the board which means he's at minimum 15cm past the legal jump line. Taking that in to consideration this jump, if it had been absolutely perfect on the board would still have come up short.

1. There are other instances of Italian cheating in Italy in the long jump. See the Giovanni Evangelisti incident, WC in Rome. 2. Regarding the "long foul" -- the board looks like a 20 inch system, a 16 inch board and a 4 or 6 inch plasticine. It looks as though on plant his toes are beyond the plasticine. Being generous and assuming it's a 4 inch, the minimum foul would be 10 cm. If he was over the plasticine, it would be more. So, if people think he jumped 9.03, it's plausible that the actual distance (foul or not) of the jump was around 8.93.

My gawd. The whole clip was about one long-jumper?!!

@Leeroy49 2 года назад

For me this has always been the world record :) I ratify it.

@jeffkrantz9916 2 года назад

Mike Powell jumped a wind-aided 8.99, in Italy, in 1992. 👍🤠💪💪

Well, above or below sea level should be equated for statistically.

@leroirobinson-grant5885 2 года назад

it's sad that an assumption prevented him from having the world record, not a fact.

@intersanctum 2 года назад

Smokey, this is not 'Nam. This is bowling. There are rules. He was way over the line so that 8.95 wasn't in danger.

the square rout of -1 made me give up on math

@haribo836 2 года назад

Not a weather expert, but one thing I do know, when it's misty, there's hardly any wind. It was clearly misty when he was doing that jump, so it couldn't be windy at that moment.

@mnm1273 2 года назад

Doubt that's accurate given the consistent wind measurements during the whole tournament.

Long jump royalty. I remember watching the 8.96 comp on euro sports.

@litespeed65 2 года назад

The long jump is all about the tiny details it would seem.

@RaphaelIgrisianu 2 года назад

You're quite young, but I was 15 in '95 and watched his highlights live including Sestriere. Back then it has been reported that Pedroso has jumped over 9.03 meters in training that year. So yes, he is the greatest long jumper ever, but unofficially unfortunately.

@crismaracana2824 2 года назад

Pedroso's 8.96 m mark comes out to 29.39633 roughly 29.4 ft and his illegal 9.03 m comes out to 29.62598 ft a little over 29.5 ft! That's just incredible! Hopefully, soon enough there will be someone who will reach the magical 9.15 m or 30.01969 ft (30 ft) mark.

Bob Beamon also jumped at high altitude (Mexico City 1968) and Pietro Menneas long-standing ER in 200m sprint - also at high altitude. Pedroso was clearly robbed of the WR.

@Yosser70 Год назад

There’s a very real possibility that I’m talking rubbish but wouldn’t high altitude negate wind assistance, to a certain degree? The air is less dense at altitude so wouldn’t the wind be (at the same speed) be applying less force on the jumpers body? Be interested to ind out 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sounds like the Italian guy standing in front of the wind reader was cheating

@jamesmartin9401 2 года назад

Too bad for Pedroso. He may very well have the WR, but yeah, I can't blame the officials for thinking the wind reading might have been hinckey. Of course, one wonders if they just didn't want the Cuban having the record for whatever reasons, but wither way, I think it's not unreasonable that they questioned the readings under those circumstances. They should have moved the guy after the first time though.

@ChimeraActual 2 года назад

This is counter intuitive, and may not be an actual advantage, but that fog? Assuming it's made up of water vapor, dry air, and water droplets, is actually less dense than dry air. Clouds are formed by condensation of water vapor; the water vapor gas is lighter than dry air, and as it rises and cools it separates back into water and dryer air -- clouds.
