Peak performace

Think about it. How far away are humans from peak performance?
Usain Bolt is running the 100 metres in 9.7-odd seconds. How much faster do you think man can go? I’d say at 9 seconds the human race would have peaked out.
Likewise with pole-vault, high jump and all the great track and field events. We are one generation away from not being able to go any faster or higher. You might get the odd super athlete, like Lance Armstrong or Michael Phelps, but that’s it. Humans are going to have come up with a completely new Olympics soon.
