American Bob Beamon looks as surprised in the air as everyone else was when he landed, shattering the long jump record by nearly 22 inches (51 centimeters). His jump, aided by high altitude at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, spanned 29.2 feet (8.9 meters) and would stand for 23 years. Photograph by Getty Images
