what would it take to set an *unbeatable* Olympic record in a sport like the 100m sprint?

Like, is there going to be a point where someone sets the *final* record for the 100m and no amount of training, sports science, or equipment innovation will help athletes go any faster? If so, how close do you think we are to someone hitting that limit?

What is more likely to happen imo is a genetic freak comes along that gives him an advantage superior to any person that has lived in history.
Some could argue Bolt was just that. However I believe we’ll see someone far more ‘genetically different’ where their height, muscle strength, flex and twitch speed is off the charts.
They’ll set a time closer to 9.2 and won’t ever be beaten due to the rarity of the difference.
