At least part of that is technology, Tokyo laid a fast track and the new shoes are a meaningful improvement - certainly in the long distance events.

Swimming cracked a heap of WRs due to technology in 2008 / 2009 and has been playing catch-up since the super suits got banned. Plus it seems most of the swimmers struggled to produce PBs in the morning finals, a lot swam their best in the heats, which is unusual.

Australia unprecedented success in Field qua Field events...

I will raise :
(i) when swimming pools and gym close over the virus , athletes can still get to Field training area
(ii) pro rata , our access to the supply-chain for PEDs is less constrained in the antipodes versus northern hemisphere

I think swimming is close to reining in the WRs in the supersuit era , they will nigh all fall in the next decade
