The IAAF considers marks set at high altitude as acceptable for record consideration. However, high altitude can significantly assist long jump performances. At the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, Bob Beamon broke the existing record by a margin of 55 cm (21 + 1 ⁄ 2 in), and his world record of 8.90 m (29 ft 2 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) stood until Mike Powell jumped 8.95 m (29 ft 4 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) in ...
