I think Conway Hill's previous post about the Ben Johnson situation puts the 
lie to it. It was mentioned awhile, but given the level of attention the 
media in general gives track it only takes a year or so before you have 
somebody writing the sport who has never even heard of the existing 
recordholder, let alone someone who preceded him.

When was the last time you read that Uwe Hohn is stll the "real" WR holder in 
the javelin?
