Track used to be a big thing in the days of Pre et al., but since the invention of the automobile it has become less relevant because people can drive everywhere. Running 100m in 9.58 isn't that impressive when you can go much faster in a car.

You might want to go back and research when the automobile was invented.
I blame the railroads and their dastardly steam locomotives.

Yes. No runner today from 100M to 10K could stay within smelling distance of the runners from the early 20th century.
