Colin Jackson's WR finally beaten.

[empip]

China's Liu Xiang broke the world record in the men's 110m hurdles by clocking 12.88 seconds on a night of phenomenal performances in Lausanne.
American Dominique Arnold also dipped inside the old mark of 12.91 secs, taking second place in 12.90.

Colin's abilities peaked at the wrong time otherwise he would have an Olympic gold ... The world moves on... Where are the limits?

Better get this posted, before it appears as a teaser.

IAAF (International Amateur Athletic Federation) fix the minimum time of physiological reaction at 100 milliseconds.

New York, 14th June 1991: Leroy Burrell won the 100 m and beat the world record for the distance in 9.90 sec. But he was actually slower than the runner-up.
The bare figures sometimes produce some surprinsing revelations. For instance, even though he was beaten in this historic 100 metres, Carl Lewis was nevertheless faster over the distance.
SWISS TIMING proceeded to analyse the starting times. They showed a reaction time of 117 thousandths for Burrell against 166 for Lewis. Over the 100 m course alone Burrell was therefore slower, but he won at the start because he reacted faster. One hypothesis is that Lewis, having already made a false start, did not want to risk being disqualified so was extra careful about his second start.
The SWISS TIMING times provide the proof required for this 100 m sprint run in ideal conditions (a temperature of 30?? and a wind speed of 1.88 m/sec):

The times over this historical 100 m:
Leroy Burrell: 9.900 less 117/1000 = 9.783
Carl Lewis : 9.930 less 166/1000 = 9.764

As the start is an integrated part of the race, Burrell naturally beat his comrade from the Santa Monica Track Club.
