Comparing the splits between this world record and Great Britain's in 2012, there's no comparison. 1k Den-1:00.9 GB-1:02.5 2k Den-1:54.6 GB-1:58.4 3k Den-2:49.6 GB-2:54.7 4k Den-3:44.6 GB-3:51.6 Then consider that New Zealand was decimated in this race and they were still 1.9 seconds faster than the GB world record.

I'm pretty sure Dan is only working with them in a technical role, not quite coaching really. And he had a bit to do with it for sure, but saying it's all Dan's work is selling the Danes short, they're obviously 4 incredible athletes.

[@sambarrett4726]

@@htdtr true its a very superlative way of speaking. HOWEVER, don’t underestimate the significance of technical consultancy. At this level thousandths of seconds count. Also, not to downplay their achievement but the Danes physiologically don’t have much difference from the rest of the highest echelon of this discipline, they’re just (incredibly) well prepared for this event

[@MrBernt1968]

Once and for all to all you fine people who belive it was the helmet that gave Denmark the victory. There is absolutely nothing new or revolutionary about that helmet! It is an old design. POC came out with it in 2012 . Anyone could buy it for 300-400 €

20 years ago this event was the 4 minute barrier in cycling ,now it's at 3:44 . The mile running world record took almost 46 years to go from 4:00 to 3:43 . It's crazy how much better cycling has got in the last few years in terms of time trial and aerodynamics

[@raymondmenz522]

@@jacobjacobsen2798 Please they raced on a concrete outdoor velodrome that was 333m long and banked 33 degrees on the bends. Given the same track, weather conditions and modern cycling gear they would be right behind todays riders if not in front. Back then no EPO but blood doping was legal - USA team. For the Olympics steroids were out of control - 68/72/76/80/84. Then Ben Johnson 88 admitted that he had been using them for 9 years.

You know someone has been giving his all, when you almost pass out after.

They have said that they kept the good stuff hidden until the olympics, like the new suits, so others wouldn't have time to do the same as them. But they said that this world record was more than they espected, so who knows. For the first 2 times they set world record at this, they knew they could do it better though, so they were not totally happy about those world records.
