📋 What Is a World Record?

A world record is the best result ever recorded in a specific sport event. Unlike Olympic records, world records can be set in any official competition.

The Guinness World Records book records thousands of records every year, but in the sports world records are officially ratified by international federations such as World Athletics, FINA (aquatics) or IWF (weightlifting).
