People are legit stupid. Tim Montgomery was juiced to the fukking gills taking undetectable anabolic roids (aka the clear) and set the world record at 9.78. You had two dudes run essentially that time in these goddamn Olympics and you think they did it clean?
They cycled on and off designer peds like ALL of the sprinters do.
I don’t think some of you understand that bio mechanically there is a limit to how humans can sprint. Theirs is a limit how fast you can run individually naturally no matter how fast you are, and to break that threshold you need “help.”
At the 1924 Olympic Games, the winning time for the men’s 100m dash was 10.6. A HUNDRED fukkING YEARS of innovation, training methods, nutrition, tracks designed to make you faster, shoes designed to make you faster, etc. And the winning time this year in the men’s 100m is LESS than 1 second from 1924 (0.81).
We’ve reached the human limit in terms of natural speed. In order to run sub 10 seconds 100s regularly, you need help. In order to beat the dudes who are also getting help, you need help.
All of them juice. You basically have to. You also
have to be pretty lazy/stupid to get caught. Bolt is still the greatest sprinter ever, but some of you are living in some kinda lala land.
smh just like big men can shoot the 3 at 40% which was rare and unheard of even ten years ago people evolve
Training has evolved to be faster, more intense, and smarter. As the popularity of track grows, the talent pool expands, and the standards rise. Speed-focused training is becoming increasingly widespread, driven by advances in technology and knowledge.
You even see it inn countries that were not traditionally sprinting powerhouses. Today, most people with a smartphone can capture slow-motion videos of their running form—something that, just a decade ago, required high-end cameras and specialized software. Many places, especially in developing countries, previously lacked access to such equipment. The improvement in training methods, supported by scientific advancements, has led to enhanced athletic performances.
