Why are so many world records going this year at the olympics ?

Question

Nobody can touch michael phelps ans usain bolt stopped 10m out and celebrated what a gulf and why are all the records getting smashed ?

Answer 1

cause everyone is going GHETTO this year  

Answer 2

They're getting broke because people have been training hard, or they're could be drugs involved (I don't think so but who knows).

Answer 3

Because the goal of many olympic  athletes is to beat the World Records, the train extensively to attain that goal. I seriously seriously doubt steroids are involved, because Phelps and the others are starting to show signs of being tired, even though their still winning. If steroids were involved, that wouldn't show as much.  

Answer 4

Because perception has changed. Previously it was believed that if a swimmer lifted weights, it would ultimately slow him down. This obviously incorrect and the new stronger swimmers can easily break the records of their slimmer less toned predecessors.

Because today - health and nutrition is better understood, and athletes can get the most out of their bodies.

Because training facilities today are a million times better than they were before.

Because people know better now what traits will help them more in what sport - such as large feet and longer bodies in swimmers, and being short and near anorexic in Gymnastics.

Because as people we are wiser, understand the sports better, and can make the most of what we have.

The records of those without this knowledge and those resources were never going to stand.

Answer 5

I don't know they must of tried hard. But I heard it's because of their suits they are lighter now than before so maybe that's a reason why the records are getting smash this year,

But they are just that good.

Answer 6

In swimming speedo have made a new swimsuit that apparently sucks in their body and makes them very streamlined so that's helping a bit :D

Other than that Phelps is just bloody amazing!

Answer 7

Michael Phelps reportedly spends 5 hours a day practicing, not to mention the new LZR suit helps a lot.  These people work hard to increase their physical capacities.  If you see the running times of athletes throughout history, you can see the times shortening gradually.  As records are being made, standards are being raised.  

Answer 8

Because the athletes are learning how to get around the drug testing rules.

You think Phelps gets that shape with just normal exercise?  LOL

Answer 9

EPO, roids.

Answer 10

It is a question that is puzzling the doctors doing the drug tests.

All will be answered when they find a way to detect the substance 'Hypogolykedeclapperz.' It is odourless, tasteless and disappears in the presence of gold.
