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.

We have a student here in Outback AUS. Amazing at high jump and long jump. Went to the Big Cities twice to represent his state in athletics. And he only got a chance because the new sport teacher came in and pushed for him to go.

Out last sports teacher wouldn't have made the effort. And who knows how many other great students walked through our doors, and didn't get a chance to train/go big because of funds/transport/staff engagement etc.
