Close but no cigar.

You said it was 'astonishing'. Do you mean as in shocking or spectacular?

If shocking I recall a Black Power protest by a couple of African Americans? I have already alluded to Fosby, the hi jumper who introduced the 'Fosby Flop' which is still in mode today.

Is it the record long jump by American Bob Beamon

It is. It was spectacular and astonishing.

 

[Richie]

spectacular and astonishing.

I rate Dick Fosby's gold medal jump using a new style as more astonishing than that..

Seeing as tho the Olympics are close, say we continue with that theme.

Also a track and field athlete.

Fair enough. I just didn't think of him nor did I claim Beamon's feat was the best ever in any field.
