The speed that Edwards carries into his jump is one of the most important factors in his two world records. Yes, his technique is flawless: it's like watching a flat stone skipping across a pond. But his speed exceeds that of almost any jumper I have seen.
You continue to see WRs broken in other events today but 26 years on and this one still stands.
he looks like a real life NES Track & Field character
Venant des JO tokyo 2021… C un record dur à battre 😮
It's cool that the Swedish Chef was available for the VO
Damn….. seems so effortless comparing to today’s standards. The women’s world record aswell (The previous).
How come there are 1500 people that does not like this video?? The man is a legend! Amazing how he breaks the world record, and then breaks it again!
Apparently white men can't jump lol
What an idiot language 😀
His facial features remind me of Georges St. Pierre.
wings
Mario 64 jumping noises started playing in my head when he jumped.
Shit man if i were a competitor i'd just straight away throw white flag and call it a day
Guy be like: What can say I am a legend!😂😂
try quadruple jump
Perfect technique
Just watched Olympics 2020 n not a single athelete was able to cross 18m n here he is🙏
His reaction to the latter world record jump is probably the most chilled out reaction by any athlete after setting a world record.
This guy is bhopping

Super mario in real life…

Jonathan:- there is no such thing as gravity.
I’m in 6th grade and mine is 23ft 11in and 30cm
Man he was having a really good day
To put that into perspective the average man is 1.8m so thats more than 8 times that…. mind boggling.
If it wasn't for the Olympics ,he wouldn't have landed.
Incredible!
Jonathan could’ve crossed Loch Ness with those leaps if the monster showed up 😂
To be nearly in the sand pit at the end of the second phase, holy shit.
Strength plus technique plus speed….Jonathan Edwards..

If you go cliff jumping at the height it fs does not look the same distance, amazing!
What's the point in triple jump!
Technique to die for.
60 feet in 3 jumps, the mind boggles.
It was prob actually more where his feet actually landed
Just look at the wind in his BACK (red ribbons)
Matched by Daley thompson 👍🏻

Time to change that board to 19 meters

Fuck I miss the 90s. It was so real compared to this clown land we live in now
What a smooth jump!
