So are you saying athletes today are getting slower, weaker, smaller and are worse coached? The world record for long jump was set 26 years ago. The second longest jump was 49 years ago. Last year's Olympic championship jump was almost 2 feet shorter than the Olympic champion from 48 years before. Why are long jumpers so bad today?
