Olympic thought how high will records soar in Tokyo
Rome reports that Rome hosted the games with 9,000 athletes from 87 nations. World records surged as track and field stars set five world records and tied four, with 29 Olympic records added. Experts, including Livio Berutti and coaches from the US and Germany, debate how much farther records can advance and how systematized training may push times and distances further. The Soviet Union led in golds and points, with the United States second, Italy third, and Germany scoring high in both medals and total points.
