- kevinmchugh 4y agoI'm reminded of the long jump record: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men%27s_long_jump_world_record_progression https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men%27s_long_jump_world_reco... There's only one in-competition jump better than Bob Beamon's in the last 55 years

Started in 1984 at 5.85, ended in 1994 at 6.14, after breaking the world record 30 times, I think, took 20 more years for someone to beat his record.
- littlestymaar 4y agoSee also Just Fontaine's record in number of goals in a single world cup.
- oh_sigh 4y agoThe reality is even more amazing than the graph lets on, because Usain has never failed a drug test, whereas the 4 people directly to his left have, and the 5th person suspiciously missed enough drug tests to be temporarily banned. It's only when you get to Bromell and Kerley whose times are at the very top of the chart that you see times that come from clean runners.
