Was thinking the same thing and for a G O A T single moment in sports, when Bob Beamon broke the world`s record long jump by what, 1 and a half feet ? Breaking a record by that MUCH just can`t happen, but it did. Amazing

Agreed as to a single event. He was so overcome when he saw the measurement he broke down and cried. I think in swimming Ledecky also obliterated some records by unheard of margins.

BTW I have confirmed, in a decade, nobody scored a point on Karelin. He remains my first choice. Phelps second. There is an old piece in SI that makes fascinating reading for those that care about such things. Karelin was no goon. He was a gentle giant of a man, an accomplished chess player, a student of the arts.
