Just seems different. Were the German records made in great numbers as today's have? and by such a large margin?

This time it seems so huge, that it might take a very long time to cross the void.

I wasn't really around at the time, but they stunk around for so long I kinda think they were by a quite sizable margin. They were simply "marked" as being unofficial after all the doping stuff came to light, probably as a means of getting them out of the way.

I bring it up since that sounds like what may happen here.

The records were eventually legitimately broken.... I think the longest lasting one was a relay swim. his was back when we watched broadcasted olympics and I don't know how long ago. I simply remember the announcer/reporter making a note of it at the time the record finally fell. An invalid record that was still observed due to lack of direct proof was a novel and intersting concept to me at the time, which is probably the only reason it stuck.

Does anyone else actually remember any of this? I was in middle school I think, so I really don't recall any detail whatsoever... my brief internet search pulled nothing as nobody keeps note of old broken records.
