Only to break it again about half an hour later. The pressure got to him at Atlanta and he ‘only’ won Olympic silver there the following year. He was so good he was still the best in the world 4 years later, winning at the Sydney Olympics. My uncle used to work for Gateshead council and would often use the gym at Gateshead Stadium. He bumped into Edwards there a lot. Apart from saying he was a genuinely lovely fella he also commented on how he could lift insane weights. Especially squats. More than all these blokes in there about twice his size. That’s part of the reason he was so good. Obviously he had great speed on the runway. He was technically brilliant too. The best description I can think of is someone saying most triple jumpers are like a bouncing ball but he was like a stone skimming over water. Maintaining the speed through all the stages. But his power to weight ratio too. He was slightly built compared to most triple jumpers Expand On 08/08/2024 at 09:00, Gemmill said: Triple jump was won last night with a jump of 17.44. Bronze medal didn't even get over 17m. Edwards' WR stands at 18.29m and it's 29 years old this year. Expand This made me look up how long Bob Beamon’s long jump record stood for… 23 years… and Ed Moses 400m hurdles run of wins… 9 years, 9 months and 9 days…broke his own world record numerous occasions during that time… this post is brought to you in association with Ron Pickering, David Vine and Stuart Storey ☺️ 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeit at altitude. Lynn Davies was actually one of the favourites, as reigning champion. Beamon’s jump, apart from adding more than half a metre to the world record was about 80 centimetres longer than Davies’ jump four years before. That’s absolutely insane. Ie 10% or thereabouts longer Beamon supposedly got close in training but never came near again in competition. But when you watch the footage he looks like he nearly jumps out the pit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
