Bolt could’ve beaten his own record if he doesn’t jog the remaining 10m or so

[glife]

Radcliffe's record smashed today in Boston Marathon by a Kenyan elite marathoner

[sianxie]

High jump! Javier Sotomayor 2, 45m, an incredible record!

[jamesddiii]

crazy how this video came out only 2 years ago and is already wildly out of date. Just shows you the future is hard to predict- and track and field is awesome!

[Jay-jklk]

Don’t say track and FIELD if your not going to include the FIELD🤦🏽‍♂️

[seanenright]

A 12.34 200m is pretty crazy for a woman or man.

[truthismyfriend]

Don't say "Track and Field, " when you mean only Track. Sotomayor's 8 foot high jump soars above ALL those.

Although it took 23 years to break, it’s still hard to ignore Bob Beamon’s 1968 long jump: 8.90 meters (29 feet 2.5 inches), which was the first jump past 27, 28, AND 29 feet as well as past 8.50 and 8.75 meters—the 6.2% increase Is the largest change in track and field history.

Some of these old records are suspect due to poor drug testing regimes back then.

[SamWade]

Anyone else here come back after Bridget Kosgei’s 2:14:04? On the same weekend as Kipchoge broke 2! No Human Is Limited

[Gold_Lightan]

Bolt slowing down at the end will make him even more legendary status. No matter who beat his records, people can always theorise that if he didn’t slow down, he will still hold the record. It’s a good trade off. 😉

Flo Jo who here remembers her nails? Omg I loved when they would say "ready, set, " and she would adjust her beautiful long nails to fit right along the start line. She was mesmerizing to watch and you couldn't take your eyes off her.

[FredericPitteloud]

Some records here are unfortunately suspicious.

[Striped]

Lol the women’s mile got broken like a week ago
🤣🤣🤣

[xMikeDezzyx]

I thing I like about flo jo 100m is that she ran all the way through it, she didn't slow down for the finish

[billschild]

I will always question FloJo's performances as they are clouded by suspected drug use. Her rapid rise, shock retirement coinciding with the introduction of random drug testing and early death due to heart failure all point to a drug assisted career.

[elwild]

Michael Johnson breaking the 400m record by 2.028% back in 96 will probably forever be my favorite.

[gelaben]

Wade v Niekerk is certainly one of the greatest records broken. The 400m is an elite race.

[peterlazar]

Secretariat has held the record time for all three races of the triple crown for 45 years now. His Belmont run set the world record for 1.5 mile on dirt by almost 3 seconds over the previous time. He was going so fast, faster each quarter than the one before, that he unofficially beat the record for 1 5/8 mile while coasting down from the finish line. Millions of horses have had their shot and fallen short, since that time.

[SilencedButNotForgotten]

Joyner went from 10.94 to 10.49 and from 21.9 to 21.3 in one year. Drugs were so powerful back then!
