    dying young and the event being discontinued don't count. It has to be the athlete gets old and dies while the world keeps trying to break their record the whole time.

    Likeliest current candidates are Kratochvilova, Koch, Sedikh, Sotomayor and Powell.

    So at age 68 is Kratochvilova the oldest person ever to hold a world record in a current Olympic track and field event?
