[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1132380, member: 73144"] As did the 2 miles although that’s a world best, not record. Faster tracks, super spikes and pacing lights make it almost surprising when a distance record isn’t broken now. We may need to wait a few years for everything to shake down before we properly understand how good these performances really are. Ryan Crouser recently improved his own WR in the shot to 23.56. No technical advantages there, just a generational athlete. There have only been 11 competitions over 23 metres in history with the current tally standing at Crouser 7 v Rest of World 4 (and 2 of those belonged to Randy Barnes who was banned for life for 2 failed drugs tests).
