Sports medicine and training have advanced a lot since the first olympics. In a hundred years time training methods of what works and what doesn’t have changed, even diet has changed. Athletes now have more stamina and strength than ever.
It took a lot of time to get to Roger Bannister who broke the 4 minute mile record running in 1954, now it’s a pretty normal thing for a good athlete to be able to do.
