Has there ever been a world record set that no one has ever been able to top?

Question

I meant to say a record that has stayed the same for more than like 20 + years

Answer 1

The long jump record that GavriL mentioned was set by Bob Beamon in the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City. Mexico City is at the 6,000 foot elevation. There are fewer G forces (gravity), and "thinner" air.

But, in baseball, no one has ever broken Joe Dimaggio's streak of 56 games, in each of which he got at least one hit.

Answer 2

A lot of thought went into this question I'm sure. If it's a world record, obviously it hasn't been topped yet. When it is topped, then it will no longer stand as the world record.

Records are made to be broken!But there are exceptions, some records can not be broken because the rules have changed. Example - Babe Ruth's home run record can not be broken due to the number of games played during a season. Or, President F.D, R's record for holding that office the longest can not be broken because the law was changed to limit it to 2 terms.

Answer 3

Yeah . . there was a record set for long distance jumping in the Mexico olympics years ago (in the 50's I think but I'm not sure) . . no one has come close since
