Absolutely incredible that the long jump world record has only been broken once in 55 years (poor Carl Lewis - virtually unbeaten at long jump in a decade, did finally beat Beamon's record, one jump after Powell just beat it)

Word on the street is Carl Lewis had a 30-foot jump that was unjustly ruled as a foul and disallowed. A lot of kerfuffle on it, back in the day.
