I mean, do you know what the biggest record jump in 100m running was?

...Usain Bolt beating his own record.

I used to think that genetics must surely play a bigger and bigger role the more a skill is built around pure body function (management < speed typing < wrestling < running), but looking at stuff like this, it doesn't seem so simple.
