My wife wondered if we are reaching the limit of human ability in athletics; I think we’re only reaching the limit of people who actually take part in those sports.

    Some records may only be capable of marginal improvement but those are still significant to break

    I’m really not sure what point you’re trying to make

    These are world records so the people involved absolutely care about small breakthroughs and that literally proves the human body was capable of more than we thought, even if just by a little

    Who cares if it’s just by a little? We are operating at the absolute limit of performance where a small gain is actually huge
