Usain Bolt Has Destroyed Market Value of Track Athletes

[jpaule]

Does anyone know how many track and field athletes make over a million dollars per year and who they are?

In swimming, the fact that World Records are falling willy-nilly at the craziest level ever (no matter what the reason) doesn't seem to have made the sport anymore valuable.

Either extreme is bad, whether it is world records lasting for multiple decades without anybody getting close, or short-lived frequently broken records.

In a similar vein, when will the mile or 1500 records be taken down again? Does there have to be a dominant figure for these to be broken?
