I'd like to hear your other one but you are correct Bob Beamon is the answer. He crushed the competition and the long jump world record by 21 and 2/3 inches. Who ever did better than that? You are IT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking maybe Dick Fosbury because he revolutionized the way the high jump was done 🤷🏾♂️ I’m thinking of a person... White male, American, dead...

Despite being a genius, it appears this guy could not hold a job or complete his education, If his death was a necessity it was to make a statement or to keep him quiet. The date is wrong or I would have said Lee Harvey Oswald, and we did just pass the anniversary date of the JFK assassination. This is all pretty speculative because I really don't have a clue.
