My wife wondered if we are reaching the limit of human ability in athletics; I think we're only reaching the limit of people who actually take part in those sports.

There has been a huge uptick in interest in the sport of weightlifting because of crossfit. Hampton Morris was our first US male Olympics medalist since the 1960s, and Olivia Reeves won gold.

I think for sports like weightlifting talent is pulled away by professional sports. You could go to the Olympics, or you could go play for an NFL team.
