Crowley sees it as a turning point in physiological sports because it suits the polarised model – a training method that is gaining prominence where athletes spend 80 per cent of their training in low intensity, while the rest is high intensity.
For setting world records, many point to technological progress. “In athletics, the world records broken at theraise the question whether there was something extraordinary behind them,” said Mika Hamalainen, a behavioural science and philosophy researcher at the University of Turku, Finland. In winning gold for Norway, Warholm broke his own world record in the 400-metre hurdles at 45.94, ripping his shirt in celebration. It was a dizzyingly fast race – six out of seven who finished behind him blazed to season bests, regional or national records.
Adding to the mix were environmental factors, ranging from the weather, competition time or even the presence of spectators. As it was in Rio, heat remained a headache for participants at Tokyo Games. August temperatures prompted organisers to move the marathon final to Sapporo, a coastal city about 800km north of Tokyo, where the weather is cooler than Tokyo.
