I could be mistaken, but this was probably the greatest display of the art of understatement, ever recorded: "Jonathan Edwards has produced a remarkable jump" "It's the longest jump ever seen in track n field athletics… and I've just been informed, that's a new Gateshead-Harriets record".
I understand the technicalities but this not being an official WR is very harsh indeed. If the wind had been at a legal 2.0 then how much less further would Edwards have jumped? Maybe a centimeter or two.
He was majestic, like running in fast forward then he hits the slow motion button in those three steps and hangs for ever. If he nailed the board then it's a 18.50M jump here.
I also love Basketball and whenever another basketball fan says to me that Michael Jordan used to somehow hang in the air I used to tell them to look up Jonathan Edwards triple jump world record. THAT'S hanging in the air
He is very religious, so I am sure he had help from above🧐 I can't remember seeing anything like this before. The wind speed of 2.4ms was such a shame, but he did get the world record soon after this at 18m29cm. The last time we saw something like this was problably Bob Beamon's long jump in 1972 and Willy Banks's triple jump in 1985. One of those times in athletics you don't or can't forget. 🤩
Whoooooooosssshhhh
The GOAT. Nobody will ever come close to reaching it, even if it was a bit wind aided
This might be the greatest and most beautiful display of athleticism in any sport ever.
I think he would have jumped that far wind or not, supreme craftsman at triple jump.
1:03 dix-huit metres quarante trois
Unbelievable
With today's technology is it possible to figure how long this jump would have been if the wind speed had been 1.9?
He was almost in the sandpit after his first 2 phases. That's ridiculous.

The second jump is by far the most impressive one. He did not lose too much speed and the vertical speed was at its finest for the last far jump.
Imagine what he would have achieved if he was really trying?! 😃
Here after India wins gold in cwg 2022 😍
Still an amazing achievement
He’s almost in the pit after phase 2
one word: perfection

Jonathan just took the p**s
The man is a living legend
I instantly went to the track near me and tried to do this back when I was 10 years old.
Auch fast 30 Jahre immer noch eine Liga für sich.
Würde die heutige Elite immer noch Na h allen Regeln vorführen
Фантастично, непревзойденно, великий атлет
This man isn’t human omg how far was that omg
His jump foot wasn't far away from the sand pit 😂
He was majestic, like running in fast forward then he hits the slow motion button in those three steps and hangs for ever. If he nailed the board then it's a 18.50M jump here.
If that was 2.0 wind that stands
Perfect jump from run-up to landing.
Disumano…… semplicemente disumano
Legend
complete cracy
Das ist der eleganteste Dreispringer bis heute. ❤
In slow motion you see the pure perfection here. Incredible
It was probably closer to 18.60m. He hit the board but only just.
he looks to be way back of the take-off board. if he got that perfect 18.50+ was achieveable !!18.60?!!
I'd like to put some context to this:
1. Jonathan Edwards 18.43
2. Jacek Butkiewicz 17.14
3. Arne Holm 16.70
Lmao he's not doing the same sport, his worst jump was 58cm better than the best jump of any other athlete in the same event
And it’s STILL the longest triple jump ever seen in track and field athletics since 1995!!!
People forget he also jumped 18.39m that day.

Ein Wahnsinn

Float like a butterfly, jump like a kangaroo .
the goat jonathan edwards!!!
If you look closely he jumped from the back of the board. This would have been a 61 ft jump had he gotten most of the board. Incredible
A new Gateshead Harriers Record 🤣😂🤣
