Poi ci sono discipline in cui il dibattito neanche nasce. Si apre e si chiude nello stesso istante. Una di queste è il salto con l'asta maschile, dove nessuno oserebbe eccepire alcunchè di fronte al nome del leader incontrastato della classifica di tutti i tempi: Sergey Bubka.

Sono pochi quelli che oltre a vincere la medaglia con il record fanno anche la Storia dell'atletica. Uno di questi è stato Robert "Bob" Beamon che il 18 ottobre 1968 alle Olimpiadi di Città del Messico letteralmente decolla dalla pedana del salto in lungo e atterra dopo 8 metri e 90 centimetri. Batte il record precedente di 55 centimetri. Mai nessuno prima di lui era riuscito e dopo di lui riuscì a migliorare il record del lungo così tanto. Il suo record resisterà imbattuto per 23 anni.

Allo stadio, tra le 56.000 persone che affollano lo stadio del Montjuic, c'è anche il padre. Che lo ha visto partire e risollevarsi, che lo ha accompagnato fin lì e che adesso lo sta guardando dalla tribuna.
