Athletics Base Camp, January 28, 2022
Yesterday, a generation of athletics legend Carl Lewis retweeted a video on his social media platform and said: "I can't believe that record is kept to this day!" ”
This is the men's long jump world indoor record of 8.79 meters, set by Lewis on January 27, 1984, in New York, USA, and the famous Millrose Indoor Race (centennial race, then the 77th).
Two things to prompt -
1. The "record" of the world record is not the "record";
2, the world record has outdoor and indoor, please look carefully.
The men's long jump world indoor record is Lewis's 8.79 meters, which has been maintained for 38 years. The world outdoor record was 8.95 meters (+0.3m/s) set by Mike Powell at the 1991 World Championships in Tokyo, which is still there.
Indoor records do not have wind speed ~~
Returning to the world record-breaking game, Lewis felt he was perfect. At the time, he was only 22 years old and a senior at the University of Houston.
In this competition, his six jumps were:
6.77 US 8.21 US 8.19 US × 8.30 US 8.79 US
Let's take a look at the video released by the Diamond League video number -
Released in 2021, so it is written "37 years ago" ~ ~
Lewis's 8.79m jump indoors also equaled his outdoor PB at the time, the 8.79m (+1.9m/s) jump in 1983.
At the time, he was the "second man in history" after Beamon.
At the 1991 World Championships in Tokyo, Lewis jumped 8.91 meters (+2.9m/s) to win the silver medal in the men's long jump after losing to his compatriot Mike Powell. This jump is 8.91 meters, exceeding the wind speed. At the speed of one of the races, he jumped 8.87 meters (-0.2 m/s), setting a PB.
At the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, Lewis alone won four gold medals in the 100m, 200m, long jump and 4×100m relay, equaling Jesse Owens's brilliant record at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. In addition, Lewis is also the men's long jump - the olympic four-time champion!
