As I understand it, we’re partly breaking speed/jumping records because of equipment: better shoes or whatever will make a huge difference.
Not trying to belittle their achievements, but to me somebody breaking a weightlifting world record is a little more impressive, as presumably everything is identical every time except the person themselves?
How are we still breaking those sorts of records? Better training? Are we artificially selecting for better weightlifters (ie, olympic weightlifters have olympic weightlifting kids)?
In: Biology
A person with the right genetics is born and with the right training he can break the world record.
