This is one of the most interesting Stats from the 100 meter dash from this Year being so close the last place Finisher from Jamaica was 9.91 when Carl Lewis won in 1998 he ran 9.9 when car Le won in 1998 he ran 9.92 now obviously the training is is Improved the tracks probably have Improved um the development has improved From a sprinting standpoint uh facil Ities are better understanding about Sprinting developments better but I find It interesting that the last person ran Faster than the champion in 1988 and That probably that's 40 you know almost 40 years later that also probably goes True if you look to 19 uh what would it be 1962 or 1960 whenever that Olympics was Same kind of thing probably happened Then except um the great the jump is now Even greater
