preface
The Olympic Games are the dream of countless athletes, and all the athletes who can participate in the Olympic Games are strong in their fields and have shown their style in the Olympic Games.
With their talent and hard work, they not only achieved excellent results, won gold medals, but also set a record that is difficult to surpass.
These records that have been created, even if you look at it now, are still a legend, and it is said that "the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach", but their records are difficult to be surpassed by the younger generations.
So, what are some of the hard-to-beat records at the Olympics? Who is it that makes these records?
Phelps
Among the swimmers, there are many strong athletes, but there are few who can be called geniuses.
In the United States swimming community, there is a recognized talented swimmer, and he is Phelps.
Phelps began learning to swim at the age of seven and has been out of control ever since.
Extreme talent, combined with hard training, soon made Phelps famous in the swimming world.
Phelps has also competed in competitions large and small, including five Olympic Games.
And in these five Olympic Games, as long as Phelps is in the water, he has won almost all the gold medals in the competition.
Especially at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Phelps won eight gold medals at once, a record that is still difficult to beat.
Yiannis Kouros
Many netizens may not have heard of the next Olympic record, and even the creator of the record is not very famous.
Yiannis Kooros is a marathon runner in Greece, known as the "God of Running", who has dominated the ultramarathon world for more than two decades.
And the title shows just how good Yiannis Kouros is, having set a 24-hour marathon record.
Yiannis Kouros started running at the age of 16 and achieved good results in a short period of time.
He set a personal record in 1982 and took part in the first Spartapine Supermarathon the following year.
In his first ultramarathon race, Yiannis Kouros won the championship, more than four hours behind the second-place finish.
One of the most notable of Yiannis Kouros's achievements is the 24-hour record.
In 1997, Yiannis Kouros set a 24-hour ultramarathon world record of 303.506 km.
This translates to 4 minutes and 45 seconds for him to run 1 kilometer, including the time he spent drinking water and going to the toilet.
Let's not talk about the results, just talking about running for 24 hours, few people can do it, which is enough to see how good his endurance is.
It is for this reason that Yiannis Kouros has set a record that no one has been able to surpass to this day.
Bob · Beamon
The long jump seems to be unremarkable among all Olympic sports, and there are not many athletes who can be recognized.
But two exceptions were made, one of them, Bob Beverly, an United States long jumper who set a long jump record that was difficult to beat.
At the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico, Bob · Beamon jumped 8.90 meters, a record that was held.
This record has stood for more than 20 years, and no athlete has ever been able to surpass this distance.
It wasn't until 1991 that Mike · Powell broke the record by jumping an 8.95.
However, even if the record is broken, the difference between the two is very small.
Dibaba
All of the above records were set by male athletes, but in fact, female athletes are also strong.
In people's general consciousness, girls' patience is not as good as that of boys, and even explosiveness is the same.
This also leads to the fact that there are many sports, and many netizens are actually not optimistic about female athletes, especially long-distance running events.
Long-distance running requires not only stamina, but also explosiveness to complete the final sprint.
However, the appearance of Dibaba broke the prejudice of netizens against long-distance running events, and girls can still win the championship.
She has participated in four Olympic Games, and her results have been very good, and she has won two gold medals in long-distance running.
Bolt
This name is believed to be familiar to everyone, and in track and field competitions, Bolt has created too many "myths".
And his achievements are also obvious to all, he has participated in four Olympic Games and won numerous gold medals.
At the same time, Bolt also defeated 19 world champions in the competition, breaking the world record eight times.
While breaking other records, he has also set new records, some of which have been difficult to surpass to this day.
Zhang Shan
All of these world records were set by foreign athletes, but mainland athletes are also very good, and they have also set many records.
For example, in the shooting skeet event, mainland athlete Zhang Shan once set a world record.
At the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, Zhang Shan successfully won the gold medal in the two-way skeet with a good score of 225 targets and 223 goals.
The reason why Zhang Shan's world record is difficult to surpass is because this event is a mixed competition.
But in today's competitions, the mixed competition system has been canceled, and it has been changed to separate men and women.
Liu Xiang
Among Chinese track and field athletes, Liu Xiang's name should be a household name, and so are his achievements.
He was the first mainland track and field athlete to win the title of "World Flyer" and became the pride of many Chinese people.
During his career, Liu Xiang participated in a total of 95 competitions, won a total of 36 gold medals, and also broke the world record.
In addition, Liu Xiang is also the first track and field athlete in mainland China to win the title of "Triple Crown".
Although he has long since retired, and even setting a world record has been broken, Liu Xiang is still a "myth" in the sports world.
Zhang Yining
Table tennis has always been the pride of the mainland, and in the previous national table tennis team, there was a figure known as the "big devil".
Zhang Yining has shown excellent talent since he came into contact with table tennis, and he is simply invincible on the field.
It is precisely because of this that she is called the "Great Demon King" by many people, and the record she has set is unsurpassed.
Zhang Yining has won a total of 19 world championships and is the only "double slam" female table tennis winner in the world.
Lindane
In the badminton world, Lin Dan's achievements are legendary.
The two-round Grand Slam, which has almost all the championships of all competitions, is simply an unsurpassable existence.
Moreover, Lin Dan will have a variety of playing styles, but no matter what kind of playing style, he has figured it out.
Because of this, Lin Dan's results are difficult to surpass, and his two-round Grand Slam record is difficult for ordinary people to break.
Fu Mingxia
When it comes to the diving queen, many people think of "Guo Jingjing", but in fact, there are more legendary figures in the diving world.
She is Fu Mingxia, who has been involved in diving since she was a child, and was selected for the national team at the age of 12 and began to participate in various competitions.
At the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Fu Mingxia was only 14 years old, but she directly won a gold medal for China.
As the youngest athlete to win an Olympic gold medal, it can be said that Fu Mingxia at that time shocked many people.
Such a record was broken in 2021, when a Japan skateboarder, Nishiya Tsubaki, broke the record.
At just 13 years old, she became the youngest ever to win an Olympic gold medal, and has yet to be surpassed.
