anybody knows how many seconds of flying? I mean, in the moment of jumping and the moment of landing, how many time goes by?

thats impossible to jump that right now the world record high jump is 2.5 meters and thats 8 feet 1 inch you tell me in this video they hit 8 feet you can tell that theyre both about1.4m or so maybe besides you dont' want hieght you want speed to push. its a parabola the higher you jump the less your distance.

Talk to any good track coach and you will know how wrong that statement is.

The real WR would be held by Ivan Pedroso when he jumped 8.97m but because of the idiot official that stood in front of the windmeter the result was not accepted to WR. But still Powell and specially Lewis are one of the greatest TandF atheleths ever!
