Tanti auguri a Bob Beamon (29 agosto 1946), medaglia d'oro alle olimpiadi di Città del Messico del 1968 nel salto in lungo, con tanto di record mondiale. E' stato uno dei personaggi più incredibili della storia dell'atletica leggera. Infanzia difficile la sua. Da bambino vide morire la madre di tubercolosi. La sua adolescenza ne risentì parecchio, portandolo a trascorrere le notti tra strade e coltelli, anche se di giorno era quasi sempre in pista ad allenarsi. Poco prima di partire per Città de
