Maybe the post-Usain Bolt era is encouraging good runners from around the world to work extra hard on the 100m with hopes of medals coming of it? The combination of the all-time greatest sprinter plus Jamaica evidently not doing very intensive drug testing made 2008-16 hopeless.

Wasn’t the 3rd guy on the podium in the 100m with Jesse Owens in 1936 Japanese? I’d love to hear a Japanese folksy joke from the 30’s about why they could run so fast. I’ll be sure not to laugh at it in 2018, tho.

My error. The 3rd place guy in the 100m from the Netherlands lived until 2002, but he chose wrong, real wrong in WWII.

Maybe i'm wrong, but i thought speed & leaping were genetic gifts and that neither hard work nor drugs would help much. "white men can't jump. you do, or you do not have quick twitch muscles.

Will Japan ever get a gold medal though? Since genes limit physical potential, then the fastest Japanese will fall short of the gold medal if black Africans possess faster outliers.
