What other technical advancements have there been over the last 100
years?:
Sprints: use of blocks, speakers (gun) behind blocks
Shot: spin technique
Long Jump: hitch kick vs. sail/hang
Steeplechase: hurdling the water jump (YIKES!)
Pole Vault: pole composition
High jump: Flop vs. straddle
Backward advancements:
javelin: shorter implement, different COG
It would be nice if someone would plot the WRs over time, with the
respective innovations.
