I can think of lots in which median performance has plausibly fallen, often because progress makes it less relevant—e.g. car maintenance. But in the examples I can think of, virtuosic performance has still risen!

Sticking with sports, current baseball players are valued on different metrics. A virtuoso pitcher now pitches 2/3 as much as 100 years ago. (many factors) But the overt difference in value is illustrative. Other fields change their values too... in hidden ways?
