No.

Perhaps on the highest elite world stage due to the discovery of someone who is flat of superior genetically but statistics show we are no better than say 70's or 80's.

Tracks are faster. Timing more precise. Training more scientific. One might argue with the invent of computers, technology and medical science we are actually getting weaker as a species as evolution will no longer "select" the stronger of the species.
