How do athletes break records even though the sport has been going on for decades. How do individual humans break those records so often even though we’re said to be getting weaker than our ancestors. Is it just pure willpower or what? In some sports it could be chalked off to rule changes and stuff but there are a lot of sports without any rule changes and rely purely on the athlete. Are they juicing and the juices keep getting better? Is a new record just seen as a goal that only needs to be broken and not annihilated?

I’m still convinced the only records that may never be broken are Wayne Gretzky’s career assist record (you’d have to average 98 assists a year in a 20+ year career) and Secretariat’s Belmont Stakes time (The closest since ’73 was a full 2 seconds slower… an eternity in triple crown horse races). Fun fact: Secretariat still holds the fastest times in all 3 triple crown races.
