Reply to comment by dressageishard in TIL that in 1968 Bob Beamon broke the world record for the long jump by nearly 2 feet. His jump exceeded the limits of the measuring equipment that had been installed and his jump had to be measured manually. by Lagavulin16_neat
It probably did have at least some effect, as was mentioned by several participants in the event, but the margins it would effect don’t matter at all because of the absurd amount that Beamon cleared the record by.
