WEATHER LOWDOWN. October is cooler than the summer months in Venice and it is less busy as the tourist season comes to an end. In October the average temperature still reaches highs of around 18Â°C (that's about 64Â°F), and in the evenings can dip to a fairly cool low of 9Â°C (about 48Â°F).
The running long jump, or commonly known as just the long jump, is a popular track and field event. Bob Beamon world record long jump at the 1968 Olympics (8.90 meters/29 feet, 2.5 inches), achieved at the altitude of Mexico City, was one of the great performances in Olympic history. His record survived until 1991 when beaten by Mike Powell.
In 1935 (the year before the Berlin Olympics), Jesse Owens set the world record in the long jump with a leap of 26 ft 8 in, and this record would stand for 25 years (a very rare length of time for a track and field record), until it was finally broken by Ralph Boston in 1960.resident Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) never invited Jesse Owens to the White House following his triumphs at the Olympics games. Since 1936 was a presidential-election year, Roosevelt was afraid that he would lose southern votes if he played kowtow to an African American man.
