Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Bob Beamon's 1968 long jump was so dominant it stayed Olympic record for 23 years — the doc captured him still in awe of his own physics-defying leap.
This dropped right before the 1992 Barcelona Olympics boom, making it a time capsule of pre-Dream Team sports documentary filmmaking — no slow-mo, just raw highlights and Collinsworth yelling.
