Carl Lewis will not be the last human to surpass Powell's current WR

What is that supposed to mean?

I suppose you can be forgiven because it looks like you haven't posted since Nov but I suspect he is referring to this:

Which was 28'11 according to the physicist who 'measured' it via the video.

[MJD]

Hardly the point-argue about it over there.

OK. I get it. Pardon me if my mind was stuck in the real world of measured jumps.

The point is - there is no point if Lewis never jumped farther (which, of course, he never did, or HE would be the WR-holder!).

Which will never be broken first, men's or women's? (sentence construction courtesy of Yogi)

IMHO, women' has a tad higher chance to be broken. 210-211 perhaps. EPelle's dreams of a 7' are just that, dreams.

EPelle dreams in metric, thus 2.13 would be the never to be cleared height. And I agree, the women's record will go before the men's. I might even be alive for the former. The latter, not so much. Although my plan of living forever is still on track.
