Podcast appearances and mentions of Bob Beamon

This week on the podcast Beards and Dun sit down and have a conversation with Jeff Benjamin. Jeff has written for more than 30 years for American Track and Field magazine along with RunBlogRun.com. He is also a columnist for SILive.com's monthly "On The Run" column. He is also a member of the College of Staten Island Sports Hall Of Fame for cross country and currently teaches a college course in Sports Business Management at the college. A passionate (some would say fanatical) follower of the sport of running, his subjects have included Sebastian Coe, Jim Spivey, Joe Newton, Tom Fleming, Bill Rodgers, Marty Liquori, Rod, Dixon, Jim Ryan, Bob Beamon, Dave Wottle and Abelf Kiviat. In 2023 Benjamin was honored with the Annual James Dunaway Award by the Track and Field Writers Association for journalism excellence.

Bob Beamon is a multi-talented champion that has followed the path of his own inspiration to generate excitement and purpose throughout life. In order to succeed and leave a legacy on others, he had to make the decisive steps to make the right jumps in sports to break longest-standing world and Olympic records as well as in life to follow his many dreams and succeed. At the 3rd annual Medical Affairs Innovation Olympics, I sat down with Bob Beamon to learn how his sports career and multiple inspirations (basketball) influenced the decisions he has made in his personal life and success in continuing to reinvent himself as a champion in music. We explored explore what makes the long jump one of the most classic and difficult events in track and field and possibly sports, the individual components and mechanics of the jump, how his talent, circumstances, and training led to his success. In addition, he discusses his personal theories on competition, approaches to edging out competitors in sports, and transition into how he defines competition in life and what impact his environment, character, and personal inspiration have played on the kinds of jumps he has had to make in his personal life to follow multiple different and challenging paths yet succeed. In this absolutely inspirational and candid discussion, Bob speaks about his own health, how healthcare professionals throughout his career and life have helped him make personal decisions, the role his coaches and training have had on his health after retiring from sports, and what types of innovation inspire him currently or those he hopes to see in healthcare in particular. 0:00 Episode Intro 2:17 Keynote Speaker Welcome 4:20 First Jump in Bob's Life that shaped his career afterwards.

Bob Beamon is a multi-talented Olympic champion that has followed the "beat" of his own inspiration to make the right jumps in sports and throughout his life. In order to succeed and leave a legacy on others, he had to make the decisive steps in sports to break the longest-standing world and Olympic records as well as in life to follow and achieve his many dreams. On this episode of the @Alloutcoach podcast where sportsmanship meets the scientific method, I sat down with Bob Beamon to learn how his sports career and multiple inspirations (basketball) influenced the decisions he has made in his personal life and success in continuing to reinvent himself as a champion in music.

Bob Beamon a Wilma Rudolphová. Jména, která dnes něco řeknou jen několika zasvěceným, nebo pamětníkům dvou olympiád – římské v roce 1960 a mexické v roce 1968. Příběhy dvou sportovců spojují nejen skvělé výkony, které podali, a to, že oba byli Afroameričané, ale také chudé poměry, ze kterých vzešli. V Portrétech je připomene historik Jan Adamec.Všechny díly podcastu Portréty můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

México'68, a toda revolución. Durante estos Juegos Olímpicos, aparecieron dos grandes nombres que cambiaron para siempre la forma de saltar. Un tal Dick Fosbury, que empezó a hacer salto de altura saltando de espaldas. Y un tal Bob Beamon, que pulverizó el récord de salto de longitud. Además, aparecieron, por primera vez, los chicos del Black Power, levantando el puño enguantado para reivindicar los Derechos Humanos... y pagaron las consecuencias. David Botello (@DavidBotello4) y Esther Sánchez (@estesan1969), acompañados por Ainara Ariztoy y José Luis Llorente, viajan hasta allí. Si quieres acompañarlos, ¡súbete a la Historia!

EPISODE 190 I was watching ESPN Outside the Lines and they were talking about Bob Beamon. This story really inspired me. On October 18, 1968, in the 19th Olympic Games in Mexico City, Bob Beamon jumped 8.90 meters, or 29 feet, 2.5 inches in the long jump, a new world record. This distance is still an Olympic record in the long jump and one of the oldest Olympic records. This event has been the “Leap of the Century” and is also just called “The Jump.” In “The Jump” Beamon advanced the world record by 22 inches. In the previous 33 years before that, the record in the long jump record had advanced by only 9 inches. “The Jump” created a new word in the dictionary, “Beamonesque” which means “a spectacular or remarkable achievement.” Being “Beamonesque” is doing something that is way beyond your imagination, way beyond the outer limits you believed possible. Being “Beamonesque” is doing something that fundamentally changes the expectations or perceptions in your life or in particular field. You can work towards creating a defining Beamonesque moment in your own life that mirrors the groundbreaking event of Bob Beamon's long jump record. What steps you can follow to create a Beamonesque event in your own life? Creating a Beamonesque event will result in extraordinary achievements and amazing positive impacts in your own life and possibly even your own new word in a dictionary.

durée : 00:02:07 - Esprit sport - Âgé aujourd'hui de 77 ans, l'Américain Bob Beamon a décidé de mettre aux enchères sa médaille d'or des JO de 1968 quand il avait réalisé le "saut du siècle" à 8 mètres 90.

HOUR 2: Keith talks about who is to blame for the Jets disaster and NFL storylines. He also talks with former Olympian and current musician Bob Beamon. 

W 1968 roku Bob Beamon w ciągu sześciu sekund całkowicie zmienił rekordy lekkoatletyki. Jego złoty medal w skoku w dal na Igrzyskach Olimpijskich w Meksyku nie tylko ustanowił rekord świata, ale pozostał niepobitym rekordem olimpijskim do dziś, przez okrągłe 55 lat. Poprawił poprzedni rekord świata o prawie 7%, o więcej niż kiedykolwiek poprawiono jakikolwiek rekord świata w jakiejkolwiek innej dyscyplinie lekkoatletycznej. Sam Beamon nigdy nawet nie zbliżył skacząc do swojego rekordu.To jest nowy podcast, bardzo potrzebuję :) Twojej pozytywnej recenzji na Spotify, Apple Podcasts czy Google Podcasts, albo na YouTube.

There are those moments when reality takes a back seat and the impossible happens. Like Wilt Chamberlain's one hundred point game or, Bob Beamon's incredible long jump, yet what Tom Dempsey did on that November afternoon at Tulane Stadium in New Orleans  was at the time, the most incredible odds of any sports endeavor. A record that stood for forty years Dempsey will be remembered as a moment in time, frozen forever upon the colorful pages of NFL history. Join host John Spoulos as we remember this great moment and the man responsible, Kicker, Tom Dempsey.

Diciannove passi, trentotto chilometri all'ora e poi cinquantacinque centimetri in più di quanto nessuno avesse mai fatto fino a quel momento. Un salto lungo, lunghissimo, infinito. Un salto lungo quanto la storia dell'atletica. Fors'anche, troppo lungo. Perché se stacchi da uomo e atterri da alieno il futuro può pure risultarti un fatto piuttosto complicato da gestire. Questa è la storia di un salto, ma è innanzitutto la storia di un incredibile atleta. Questa è la storia di Bob Beamon.

Bob Beamon, Gerd Müller und Jesse Owens haben Rekorde für die Ewigkeit verloren. Rosi Freese weiß, wie sich das anfühlt.

LES GRANDS RECITS – Le 30 août 1991, lors des Championnats du monde, à Tokyo, l'Américain Mike Powell battait le record du monde au saut en longueur (8,95m), surpassant deux de ses compatriotes : Bob Beamon, détenteur du record depuis les Jeux de Mexico en 1968, et Carl Lewis, la star dont il avait toujours été dans l'ombre.

This week's guest is one of the most outstanding athletes ever, Mike Powell. Mike has held the long jump world record for the last 30 years, taking the mark from the legendary Bob Beamon - who held it himself for 23  years. The record stands at 8.95 m or in old money 29 feet 4 and a bit inches. When I do keynote speeches, one of my favourite things to do is to measure out Mike's record just to illustrate some of the extraordinary feats elite athletes are capable of and it never, never fails to amaze me or an audience. Mike broke the record at the Tokyo World Championship in one of the most tumultuous tussles with the equally legendary athlete Carl Lewis, having played second fiddle to Carl for so many years. In the conversation Mike describes in such a colourful and engaging way how he went about pursuing the title, using Carl as a motivator, how he tapped into a coach that could take him to another level, how he harnessed sports psychology long before it was common place. If you can take a look at the youtube link in the below of the competition either as a reminder or to soak up for the first time what I would describe as one of the best head to head sporting competitions of all-time.   Tokyo World Championship final https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0WfsAwvTSU   *** Applied Pro Practitioner Courses *** https://www.supportingchampions.co.uk/onlinecourse Notes The long jump record was a turning point in Mike's life Mike Foul! Using fuel between Carl Lewis and himself as competition Stoking of aggression in order to fuel performance Visualisation with a sport psychologist Mike Powell's coach Randy Huntington and his training methods Breaking the World Record but Carl had 2 jumps left and he ALWAYS came back What was it like experiencing the peak of his performance? Mike's prediction! Adjusting to fame and the downsides Mike's pearls of wisdom Being lean and strong is the key!

Today's episode takes us all the way back to the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City watching Bob Beamon compete in the long jump qualifiers and final rounds. He scratches his first two jumps and, with only one more opportunity to jump, has to replace the pressure and fear with faith and confidence. If we can push past the voices in our heads pressuring us towards fear of failure, we can experience more creativity, innovation, and motivation than ever before. When we play to win and develop an abundant, positive mindset, our leadership journey instantly becomes more rewarding and also more impactful.

We aren't letting the best be the best anymore. We've seen this with Simone Biles. Her scores have been lowered simply because she does so much more than anyone else. If people work hard and overachieve, REWARD them for that. We shouldn't lower the best  However, we should be more comfortable talking about mental health and moving through negative experiences. Simone Biles also has stated she did this for her own physical safety (as the twisties are very dangerous) and for the betterment of her team (so that they can succeed if she feels she will play badly). Djokovic behaved horribly.  In quitting, he robbed his teammate of a change for a bronze medal. At that level (and really any level in athletics), throwing temper tantrums is unacceptable.

GRANDS RECITS - Aux Jeux de Mexico, il a redéfini les frontières du possible. Lui, c'est Bob Beamon. Le 18 octobre 1968, l'Américain a écrasé le concours olympique du saut en longueur et la discipline en battant le record du monde dès son premier saut. 8,90 mètres, soit 55 centimètres de mieux que l'ancienne marque de référence. Inimaginable. Et pourtant bien réel.

Kergejõustikuteemalises taskuhäälingusaates "Staadionijutud" on sedapuhku külas kaugushüppelegend Tõnu Lepik, kes võitis tiitlivõistlustel kolm medalit ja tuli ajaloolisel Mehhiko olümpia finaalvõistlusel viiendaks. Üheks saate põhiteemaks kujunebki just too 1968. aasta olümpia, kus ameeriklane, Lepiku eakaaslane Bob Beamon parandas maailmarekordit uskumatuna näiva 55 sentimeetri võrra. Küsime Lepikult, mis tegi "sajandi hüppe" autorist erilise mehe ja kas tema õhulend ikka kindlasti sedavõrd pikk oli. "Juba visuaalselt oli näha, et see hüpe oli väga pikk. Kui käisime sama aasta talvel USA-s võistlemas, astus ta napilt sama pika hüppe üle. Beamon oli looduslaps. Kui võrrelda mind ja teda, siis ta oli minust pea kakskümmend kilo kergem. Tema reielihas oli sama suur nagu minu säärelihas. Aga ta oli äärmiselt kerge ja plahvatuslik," meenutab 74-aastane Lepik. Lepiku enda Mehhikos hüpatud 8.09 püsis Eesti rekordina kauem kui Beamoni maailmarekord, ent lõpuks sai seegi Erki Noole poolt ühe sentimeetriga löödud. Lepiku siserekord 8.05, mis tõi talle 1970. aasta esimestel Euroopa sisemeistrivõistlustel kulla, on aga tänaseni vanim Eesti siserekord. "Kaugushüpe tundub kõige lihtsam ala kergejõustikus ja osalejaid on sel alal tõesti tihti kordades rohkem kui pikamaajooksus. Tegelikult on see aga väga peen ja tunnetuslik ala. Hoojooks, rütm, viimased sammud, õhulend - kõik peab paigas olema. Minu 100 meetri jooksu rekord oli käsiajaga 11,2, aga viimased neli sammu olid mul sama kiired nagu 10,4 meestel. Just minu viimased sammud - neid loeti maailma parimaks. Ma pole siiani näinud kedagi, kes nii hästi suudaks hüppest välja lennata. Kehaasend, väljalend, võimas pöiatöö ja rütmitunnetus - need olid minu trumbid," ütleb Lepik. Äsja armastatud spordiarsti Muza Lepikuga 51. pulma-aastapäeva tähistanud Tõnu Lepik räägib saates muuhulgas, millise nüansi lihvimisega ta nägi tippsportlasena enim vaeva, kuidas õnnestus elu pikimad hüpped teha just tiitlivõistlustel, miks Nõukogude Liidu treenerid teda alati hea meelega koondisse võtsid ning mida arvab ta maailma ja Eesti parematest hüppajatest. Seejuures ütleb Lepik välja nime, kes peaks tema hinnangul juba eeloleval talvel olema võimeline Eesti siserekordi 8.05 ületama. Saate lõpus esitame kuulajatele taas küsimuse, mille vastuseid ootame aadressile ekjl@ekjl.ee. Saadet juhib Karl Rinaldo.

Plus, we discuss her approach to improving her fat adaptation via carbohydrate management as well. By way of intro, we discuss the 50th anniversary of Bob Beamon's 29-foot world record leap, Allie Kiefer's win at the Staten Island half, Donovan Brazier to the Nike Oregon Project and more.

Todos lo sabemos, 1968 es un año de contrastes, de luces y sombras. Los momentos sombríos son tenebrosos y los pasajes luminosos son prístinos. En octubre se conmemora otro acontecimiento relevante en el devenir histórico de México: la inauguración y celebración de los XIX Juegos Olímpicos en la cd de México. Un evento que marca un parteaguas en la historia visual de nuestro país. Primeros Juegos Olímpicos que contaron con una identidad visual, de la que derivó una robusta arquitectura visual. Un equipo de trabajo con múltiples integrantes bajo el comando del Arq. Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, en el siguiente nivel de mando estuvieron tanto el Arq. Eduardo Terrazas como la Sra. Beatrice Trueblood, coordinando a un gran grupo de creativos. Entre ellos tenemos a José Luis Ortiz Téllez, un joven diseñador, egresado de esta casa de estudios, de gran sensibilidad y capacidad de trabajo, mano derecha del famoso Lance Wyman, quien ventajosamente se ha adjudicado la autoría total de la creación de dicha identidad visual. Logo Mexico 68 Oficialmente conocidos como los Juegos de la XIX Olimpiada, fueron celebrados en la Ciudad de México, entre el 12 y el 27 de octubre de 1968. La Ciudad de México había sido candidata a los Juegos Olímpicos en 1956 y en 1960, sin embargo, en ambas ocasiones las candidaturas fracasaron al recibir un mínimo de votos durante la elección. Finalmente en 1963, la ciudad fue seleccionada como sede de los Juegos. A partir de ese momento se constituyó formalmente el Comité Organizador que trabajó de manera conjunta con el Gobierno Mexicano y algunas secretarías de Estado en la organización de los Juegos. Estos fueron los primeros Juegos organizados por un país en vías de desarrollo, por una nación hispanohablante y los primeros realizados en Latinoamérica. Fueron también los terceros celebrados en otoño y los primeros con controles antidopaje y de género. Además, hizo su aparición la Olimpiada cultural. Cuenta con grandes hitos dentro de las gestas olímpicas, como el del atleta norteamericano Bob Beamon, quien impuso una monumental marca en el salto largo con 8.90 metros. O el caso de Dick Fosbury, quien creó una innovadora técnica llamada “Fosbury flop”. Otro de ellos es el del corredor de velocidad norteamericano James Hines, quien en la final de los 100 metros planos logró un registro oficial de 9.95”. A decir del Comité Olímpico Internacional la candidatura de México a los Juegos Olímpicos de 1968 “se basó fundamentalmente en las instalaciones existentes y la experiencia en eventos anteriores”. El Comité Olímpico Mexicano designó en un principio al ex presidente Adolfo López Mateos, pero renunció en 1965 por razones de salud. En su reemplazo se eligió al Arq. Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, cuya visión integral permitió alcanzar niveles nunca antes vistos en la celebración de estos Juegos. El programa olímpico de esa época presentaba 20 competencias, en rememoración a los juegos celebrados en la antigüedad en la península Helénica, el Arq. Ramírez Vázquez propuso la creación de una Olimpiada cultural compuesta también de 20 eventos.

di Riccardo GazzanigaNon solo Tommie Smith e John Carlos. Le Olimpiadi messicane sono passate alla storia per le imprese di tanti altri atleti. Su tutti Bob Beamon, l'uomo che il 18 ottobre del 1968 vede il fulmine e nel salto in lungo strabilia il mondo con un volo incredibile. Nel salto in alto, invece, Dick Fosbury non riesce a battere il record mondiale, ma il suo impatto sarà ancora più rivoluzionario, cambiando per sempre quella disciplina. Oltre a Smith e Carlos, c'è qualcun altro che si fa notare non solo per i risultati sportivi, ma anche per un gesto di protesta forse ancor più clamoroso di quello dei velocisti americani. E' la ginnasta ceca Věra Čáslavská, capace di vincere 4 ori, 1 argento, e di esprimere sul podio un clamoroso dissenso nei confronti dell'Unione Sovietica, per il modo in cui ha soffocato nel sangue la Primavera di Praga. Negli ultimi giorni dei giochi, a mettersi in luce è invece un giovane pugile dalla potenza terrificante: George Foreman schianta gli avversari sognando di diventare il nuovo Alì, ignaro che sarà proprio Alì a segnare in maniera indelebile il suo destino. Già, perché la chiusura delle Olimpiadi è solo un passaggio, e non il capitolo finale nella storia di tutti i personaggi di questa storia.

di Riccardo GazzanigaIl 16 ottobre 1968 la lunga rincorsa di Tommie Smith e John Carlos culmina nell'appuntamento decisivo: la finale dei 200 metri allo Stadio Olimpico di Città del Messico. Una gara strepitosa, in cui per la prima volta si scende sotto i 20'', ma che è solo l'antipasto del momento che segnerà per sempre la storia dello sport e dell'umanità: la premiazione dei pugni chiusi. Una scena in cui un ruolo fondamentale viene giocato dal terzo incomodo, l'intruso su quel podio: Peter Norman. Il velocista australiano pagherà caro, negli anni successivi, il suo sostegno ai due atleti afromericani, per i quali invece la punizione è immediata.Lo shock dei guanti neri condiziona le successive giornate delle Olimpiadi. Ma se ci sono personaggi come Lee Evans pronti a rinunciare al sogno olimpico per sostenere la battaglia dei due compagni, e a inscenare ulteriori forme di protesta nel corso della propria premiazione, altri atleti invece criticano Smith e Carlos per aver osato mischiare sport e politica. E c'è poi chi si disinteressa totalmente alla questione, tutto concentrato sul proprio appuntamento con la gloria. Uno di questi è il saltatore in lungo Bob Beamon, che nell'Olimpiade dei record sarà protagonista dell'impresa più incredibile di tutte.

Juez de atletismo durante México 68, recuerda estos Juegos desde su experiencia como testigo directo de las proezas de Bob Beamon y Rick Fosbury en los saltos de longitud y altura.

On October 18th, 1968, Robert (Bob) Beamon shattered the  world-long jump record in Mexico City. It remains as one of the most extraordinary sporting feats in Olympic history. He broke the existing record by a margin of 55 cm and his world record stood for almost 23 years until it was broken in 1991 by Mike Powell. Beamon's Olympic record stands to this day. Beamonesque: Beamon’s first leap at the 1968 Mexico City Games inspired the new word which means an athletic feat so superior to what has come before, it is overwhelming. Today we talk about his thoughts on still holding the Olympic record. What he was thinking on the medal podium, who he thought was going to surpass his mark, and what he hopes youth will learn from his feat 50 years ago. Join me today as I chat with the living legend, Mr. Bob Beamon. About the Host John Register is a keynote speaker who won the long jump silver medal in 2000 Paralympic Games in Sydney, Australia. His business, Inspired Communications International, LLC  helps business leaders and sports career professionals by demonstrating the secrets to medal podium performance while cultivating the competitive advantage.

In 1968, the American athlete Bob Beamon, made a jump that many thought would never be bettered."As I struck that lightboard, I went up over six feet... and then I'd landed at this distance that was described as a freak."In a single leap at the Mexico City Olympics, he improved the world record by more than half a metre. His new world record for long jump was 8.90m.Sporting Witness speaks to Bob Beamon and to Lynn Davies, a Welsh long-jumper who saw the feat.This programme was first broadcast in July 2012.Picture: Bob Beamon's long jump at the Mexico City Olympics in 1968, Credit: Douglas Miller/Keystone/Getty Images

The instructor of my freshman physics course fit the stereotype of a physics professor: unkempt white hair, black glasses case in the breast pocket of his short-sleeved shirt, thick German accent, and a tendency to mumble to himself while mulling over formula on the chalkboard. I was not his most attentive student, and finished the term with a grade of C (for which I was ecstatically grateful). Judging from his book Gold Medal Physics: The Science of Sports (The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2009), I imagine that my physics experience would have been much more enjoyable if John Eric Goff had been my professor. Eric's enthusiasm for both science and sports is evident in the book, as he explains concepts and laws of physics by analyzing well-known athletic feats. In the interview, we talk about Doug Flutie's miraculous touchdown pass, Bob Beamon's record-breaking long jump, and David Beckham's bending free kicks. As Eric explains, his aim is not to turn the performances of athletes into purely mechanical processes. Instead, his analysis offers a new perspective and appreciation for what athletes can accomplish. And you'll also pick up some fascinating nuggets to share with your friends, such as why the players at the 2010 World Cup complained about the ball, and why using a baseball without laces would bring a drop in home runs. After listening to the interview, check out Eric's blog, where he gave his stage-by-stage predictions for the winning times in the this year's Tour de France–with impressive accuracy.
