I think Zurich Weltklasse 1995 just lost its title of GOAT track meet.
i've been trying to find which meet this was for the past two hours! i knew there was another meet where there were 3 world records set but couldn't find it.
according to my searching, though, it was 1997 weltklasse zurich where 3 WRs were set in 70 minutes

Correct. The 1995 edition had 2 world records and a near miss by Morceli in the mile.
I’m not taking anything away from the performances but it’s the shoes. I don’t know why ppl are so offended by that. It’s not drugs. It’s the benefits of training and being able to train more and more because of the carbon plate shoes. It’s different technology and expect WR’s to fall but most importantly more and more runners breaking certain times we hadn’t seen before. For example MORE college kids are going to break 15 in the 5k now simply due to the shoes. They are here to stay so just enjoy the performances.
