The first thing to note is the sheer globalisation of the sport in recent decades. Where the same few nations tend to dominate at the top of medal tables, there are a greater number of nations producing global medal-standard athletes than ever before. Two of the most recent indoor world records (both from triple jump) came from Venezuela and Burkina Faso - two countries with almost no athletics heritage whatsoever.
Greater competition is simply making it much, much harder to claim world records and the pot-luck nature of producing the type of talent to break a world record is shown by the spread of countries above.

Sir Eddie Kulukundis, who has died aged 88, was a scion of five generations of Greek shipping brokers and used his inheritance to become a noted theatrical impresario and generous patron of the arts and sport, giving away millions of pounds – in lump sums, allowances and thoughtful gifts – to hundreds of young hopefuls.
As a theatre producer Kulukundis brought more than 100 productions to the West End including successes ranging from What the Butler Saw to A Little Night Music and Carmen Jones.
