After Karsten Warholm, the American Sydney McLaughlin has taken care of for the next fabulous decree in Tokyo. This ensures debates.
Sydney McLaughlin looked at a reasonably deftery on the video wall in Tokyo National Stadium. 51.46 seconds lit up there behind the name of the 400-m-hurdle Olympic champion - 44 hundredths of their previous world record. "That just does not want me to head," said the 21-year-old from the USA.
Most observers on Wednesday morning happened similar to McLaughlin. Once again - because the athletes turn free at these Olympic games, they nail wonder times in the rusttrote track that had not been held or no longer possible.
24 hours before McLaughlin, the Norwegian Karsten Warholm also had over 400 m hurden the world record by 76 hundredths on his eyes "sick" 45.94 seconds. The Jamaican Elaine Thompson-Herah delivered more than 100 (10.61) and 200 m (21.53) brands, which had so far only the mysterious Florence Griffith Joyner scored three and a half decades ago.
"Madness, my goodness, that goes from here," said the German Sprinterin Lisa Marie Kwayie. The approaches to explain that are manifold, some are so unsatisfactory as McLaughlin. "It's all about training, trust in the coach," said the protégé of the former Griffith Joyner Coaches Bob Kersee.
Olympia: in one year nine new world records in runs
Now you can grant top athletes for a previous year to have also known the relationship between training and performance. Nevertheless, the benefits only recently explode: Since August 2020 there were nine world records over Olympic running distances - in three and a half years ago there were three.
And then the dimensions! 29 years Kevin Young Hurdenskord was cemented at 46.74 seconds. Then Warholm 2021 started 46.70, now 45.94. McLaughlin screwed the world record of her compatriot Dalilah Muhammad from 52.16 over 51.90 to now 51.46.
These are quantum jumps, which are the one at the allegedly fastest career of history, others on the development of new shoe technologies above all by US Gigant Nike. Its model wore Warholm's rival Rai Benjamin, in 46.17 even under old record time. The Norwegian used a competitive product and weathered against Benjamin's "trampoline shoes", which "the credibility of our sport" damaged.
Credibility - good keyword: On the day of the 100 m final, Nigeria's top printer blessing octagable, 2021 in the mature age (32) was quickly excluded as a positive test on growth hormone. Shortly before it had become known that Nigeria and other countries in Corona times had not necessarily controlled fanatically on doping. For this purveyed at the 100 m press conference, Jamaica's medal trio told Thompson-Herah only: No comment.
It's not just the achievements, but also the performance increases. The Italian Lamont Marcell Jacobs was 2020 a 25-year-old average sprinter with a best time of 10.03 seconds over 100 m. Now he ran with 26 years to the Olympic Sieg and with 9.80 seconds faster than Usain Bolt 2016 in Rio.

When some observers noticed this critically, the boss of Italy's Olympia Committee reacted with a thin-skinned. That Jacob's performance is called into question, Giovanni Malago said, "shows how some simply can not accept defeats". Sets like these in Olympia history, however, often had enough a short half-life.
