At 100m Bolt set three WRs; the first time by 0.02, then by 0.03, then a year later, in Berlin 2009, by 0.11.
In 200m he broke the WR the first time by 0.02, then again at Berlin 2009 by 0.11.
Those Berlin results are indeed a mighty large jump
Yes indeed they were. In the history of sprinting they represent an outlandishly large jump, the most inherently remarkable performances ever.
If Ayana represented the kind of monetary windfall that Bolt did, she'd get a lot more than the benefit of the doubt. She'd be as untouchable as Bolt.
