Word on the street is Carl Lewis had a 30-foot jump that was unjustly ruled as a foul and disallowed. A lot of kerfuffle on it, back in the day.

I read a good article about all this in The Economist a few weeks ago. I don't remember all the details, but the long and short is:
- sanctions/cutoffs for oil & gas haven't hurt because of higher prices, Russia is bringing in more revenue
- but I think more countries are going to stop taking Russian oil, and their total export earnings may fall on that
- some things will take a bit longer to bite, but will bite hard; example = can't get replacement parts for airplanes, will gradually grind Aeroflot to a near halt

On the women's side, the 100m thru 800m are all tainted with strong suspicions of performance enhancing drugs.
