My Take
Gabriele Reinsch holds one of the most astonishing records in all of athletics, and it fascinates me. On 9 July 1988 she hurled the discus 76.80 metres, smashing the world record by well over two metres, and that mark still stands today, decades on. Representing East Germany at the Seoul Olympics that same year, she belongs to a complicated era of the sport, but the sheer distance remains jaw-dropping. I find it remarkable that a single throw on a single day in Neubrandenburg has gone unbeaten for so long. Records that durable tell you something extraordinary happened, whatever the context around it.
