Olympics and records

[Tropico]

Ok this is my question every year records are broken.
Especially in swimming 0.1 of a second each time or very near that.
So when will it stop.
If they keep it up in 100 years will it be possible to swim 100 mts in 3 seconds?

yep, we will. we're evolving to be the master species, we will soon be larger than blue whales, able to fly faster than the african swallow, ran faster than a cheetah, swim faster than a dolphin or whatever.

No, in some areas the records will stay a long time, for example the womens 100 m backstroke, the 1991 record is still standing and up until now no-one even gets close to it (yesterday 3 or 4 seconds slower was the best.

In other areas this is likely to happen as well. You can only stretch the human body so far (without drugs or shark suits etc)

@cybersheep: zee ueber human race?

Hmm it will never stop! And eventually they'll replace the participants with cyborgs and break more records mouahahaha!!!

Or atleast until we start turning the human species into a biomechanical race.

It will eventually be like the version of the Olympics depicted in an episode of the 1994 cartoon "Phantom 2040." If you haven't seen it, too bad... I'm not explaining.
