Why Are Olympic Records Always Broken?
I was on YouTube and my dear classmate Laura Farias from 8th grade had pointed out this channel, AsapScience, and there happened to be one of those videos there once I entered YouTube. That's just how much luck I have! (Cause I am pretty great and life loves me.) Since I usually see videos like these, that must mean that these videos are good and interesting to post. So I thought I would put one too (and also because I had no idea of what to post). This video is called Why Are Olympic Records Always Broken? So, it explains how, like said in the title, why and how Olympic records are always being broken. It just explains stuff how they reduce friction making some of the events easier, or stuff how there is more population in the world now so there is more possibility for records being broken.

That is so cool to have Olympic records broken!! More records can and may be broken. We are only waiting for it to happen. Why are we waiting if we can make it now. With the new technology we are able the break more records.
ReplyDeleteThat's inserting! I had never really thought about how records are always broken. I guess, just like the video alluded to, we as humans are continuously advancing, developing, and always furthering our knowledge in certain areas of living. I guess it makes sense that we could almost tweak certain things here and there in order for a new record to be broken. Interesting...
ReplyDeleteThis is all very interesting and I most certainly agree with his theory, technology has really made its way through sports in particular. Golf for example clubs have changed drastically and are now easier to hit and have a longer distance impact. All this shortens the difficultness of a golf course and makes the past antique golf players seem as if there ability to play was poor. To me the ability to win consecutively at the olympics is a real record, NOT the timing but the fact that you are better than anyone at that time is what matters.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! It is certainly incredibly that Olympic records are broken consistently. However, I do find it unfair that record-breaking athletes coming before new technologies have to deal with losing their record, only because in future Olympics the athletes can have more opportunities. In other words, the original sport is changing year after year, but at the same time is giving more technological advantage to those athletes competing later in history.
ReplyDeleteI didn't understand what it talks about the only thiung that I undestood from that video was time, nothing else and the drawings.
ReplyDeleteI think records are made to be broken. I don't think records are something that should limit people and people should constantly try to make a new record. Records test how much people can accomplish and I personally keep records to make myself feel good. I get happy when I get to know how much I have improved.
ReplyDeletebefore I watched the video I honestly couldn't think of logical and reasonable reasons.. haha of why the records are broken but now it makes so much more sense. These guys that make these videos are so great.
ReplyDeleteI think they are broken, because they have been practicing for the specific event.
