How many times in history has the 100m WR been set when an athlete is said to be "shooting for it"? Zero? That's not the way records happen in the 100m or hardly any event.///


maurice greene in athens in 1999 is one i remember where mo, his agent and the meet director were looking for the record in that race despite it being mid june
