Is Bolt's record under threat? Athletics plans major changes

Usain Bolt's record in the 100 meters could be broken soon. The World Athletics Association is considering the introduction of "super tracks," which could give current athletes a significant advantage. This was reported by Sport Bible.

Details: Technological changes in the tracks could improve grip and aerodynamic characteristics, leading to reduced running times, allowing athletes like Noah Lyles to get significantly closer to Bolt's record or even break it.

Lyles, who improved his personal best to 9.784 seconds at the 2024 Olympics, is already close to Bolt's historic result (9.58). If he competes on such "super tracks," he could theoretically improve his time by a few tenths of a second, allowing him to set a new world record. This means Lyles is quite capable of taking Bolt's place in history if such rule changes come into effect.

Reminder: This move is controversial, as some believe that such changes could compromise fairness and undermine the historical significance of Bolt's record. It should be noted that these changes have not yet come into effect and are still under discussion.
