Beamon not only became the first man to jump more than 28 feet – he had gone beyond 29 feet. The length was officially announced as 8.90 meters, which converts into 29 feet, 2 1/2 inches, shattering the world record of 27 feet, 4 ¾. Beamon's record wasn’t broken until Mike Powell did so in the 1992 World Championships.
After Beamon's famous long jump at the 1968 Olympics, Soviet competitor Igor Ter-Ovanesyan said, "Compared to this jump, we are as children." English jumper Lynn Davies said to Beamon angrily, "You have destroyed this event!"
