Beamon Jump??

//The longest standing modern Olympic athletics record is Bob Beamon's achievement in the men's long jump at the 1968 Summer Olympics.[6] The jump, at 8.90 m (29 ft 2 in), also broke the existing world record by 55 cm (22 in)//

in 1968  Bob Beamon broke the long jump record by 22 inches the same year as Dick Fosbury won a gold with his flop .

Mexico City

[Toorak]

"The high elevation of Mexico City, at 2,240 m (7,350 ft) above sea level, influenced many of the events, particularly in track and field. No other Summer Olympic Games before or since have been held at high elevation."
