Well, we don’t actually know that ITU wasn’t their kind of racing. Back in those days, they raced pretty much everything, so I don’t think they ever reached their true potential at the shorter distance raced. If they specialized in Olympic and sprint distance they would have been faster there. I do agree that fields are much deeper now, but I’m not convinced that the pointy end is much pointier, after you factor in the changes to the sport since then.
