[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1132416, member: 73144"] Many. Women’s LJ, HJ, SP and DT all date back to the 80s. Petra Felke’s 80.00m javelin would probably have been another had the spec not changed. On the track Kratochvilova’s 800 record is about to turn 40. Fewer on the men’s side although Schult’s DT goes back to 86. The bigger shift has been in technique from gliders to spinners. When Barnes set his WR in 1990 he used the spin but was in a minority at the time. Now all the elite men, and an increasing number of elite women are spinners. [/QUOTE]
