makes everyone else improve a bit also Explanation: imo -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 mins (2016-03-10 10:27:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "a notch" usually refers to a mark to show quantity of some sort...eg a notch on a gun=how many killed, a notch on a bed post how many women (or men!) you've had sex withand so on In this context these 2 hurdlers are just so good that it makes everyone else up their game (=improve) in order to give any sort of competition at all |
