汉城奥运会的田径比赛是16年来最激烈的一次田径大赛,因为非洲好手、美国等西方国家和苏联等国家分别抵制了1976年、1980年、1984年的奥运会。在汉城诞生了3项新的世界纪录。由于好手们在奥运会上首先瞄准的是金牌,其次才是世界纪录,所以这也不能算少了。但与游泳改写三分之一以上项目的世界纪录相比,这又比行家们事先预料得要少些。 The track and field competition for the Seoul Olympic Games is the most intense track and field competition in 16 years because African athletes, the United States and other Western countries and the Soviet Union boycotted the 1976, 1980 and 1984 Olympic Games respectively. Three new world records were born in Seoul. Since the best players at the Olympic Games are the first to target the gold medal, followed by the world record, so this can not be considered less. But this is in turn less than forecasters predicted in advance of the world record of swimming over a third of projects.
