Bob Beamon Video
Here's an interesting Vimeo (video) featuring 1968 Olympic gold medalist and still the Olympic world record holder in the long jump, Bob Beamon. The video is just 4:30 in length and includes clips from his Mexico City Olympic exploits. Click here to watch.
When this was filmed in 2023, Bob was attending a jazz concert by the Bone Squad on a beautiful midsummers night in Branford, Connecticut. Hundreds of music lovers were spread out on the village green to hear the jazz ensemble at which Bob was featured as a special guest on percussion. At 77, Bob Beaman is still tall and lean and still in search of challenges.
