Winning jump at Monaco was 8.09... I was thinking about Tokyo 91 where Mike Powell was asked about what he was thinking after his 8.95 and he said something to the effect that he was pretty sure Carl was going to come back and jump 9 meters...Put LJ in there with the 3k,5k and 10k records that don't ever seem like they're going to be touched for a long long time...
I mean we're talking almost 3' feet...Again, I know it's an organic way of looking at it, but what other event are people performing at a level that's, what 8% below the all time marks?
Thoughts?
