The longest standing modern Olympic athletics record is Bob Beamon s achievement in the men s long jump at the 1968 Summer Olympics The jump at 8 90 m (29 ft 2 in) also broke the existing world record by 55 cm (22 in) and stood for 23 years until Beamon s compatriot Mike Powell jumped further in the 1991 World Championships in Athletics in Tokyo
