What's the most untouchable record in sports?

Cal Ripkens consecutive game streak

Michael Powell’s 29’4 inch long jump. Today all the best long jumpers run the hundred meters instead.

Check out Uwe Hohn's javeline world record, that thing isn't getting touched. It was 104.80m, then they changed javeline type. The new world record with the new javelin's is 98.48m.

Christoph Strasser. 2014. Cycling across the United States. 3,020 miles averaging 16.42 mph.

Kim Jong Il's perfect 18 in golf.

The Gretzky career assists and points records are so awesome because not only are they just as ridiculously out of reach as the Cy Young records and many others mentioned here (often far more so) but it didn’t take a massive shift in the sport or position to make them that way.

Cy Young’s career wins and career complete games will never EVER be surpassed but it’s mostly due to a completely changed way the position of pitcher is played and handled. But hockey now is essentially the same as hockey was during Gretzky’s era. Sure it’s evolved a bit but those career marks are fair to be compared along with those in the modern era.

And Gretzky wasn’t even particularly talented as far as speed, quickness, size, power, shot, etc. Just had a massive IQ for the game and borderline clairvoyance. Seemed like he could see things ahead of time and anticipate the play before it happened. Everyone else out there was slowed down a few percentage points while he was operating at 1.5x

the most untouchable record in sports reporting is nobody reading gaults articles on lrc.

absolutely drivel.

Lionel Messi’s 91 goals in a calendar year.
OR

Lionel Messi’s 8 Ballon d’Or’s

Nolan Ryan's 7 no hitters. This will never be broken either.

yeah at least there is a possibility with the long jump, but as mentioned hard enough getting someone to break 28 feet now with most of the talent going to the 100m; Though Lewis never got a WR, Powell would not had broken it without him-what a duel that was in Tokyo!

Once you consider, this is the obvious winner.
Jesse Owens
4 world records in 45 minutes, 25 May 1935.

(100y 9.4sec; 200m/220y 20.3; 200mH/220yH 22.6; long jump 8.13m).

on dirt ,,

its fake

And you still don't know her name. Astonishing.

A lot of US sports mentioned here so I’ll mention more of a European one for Rugby - Most drop-goals in a game – 5
With the drop-goal quickly becoming a dying art, it’s unlikely anyone will match Springbok fly-half Jan Hendrik de Beer when he sent England packing from the 1999 Rugby World Cup.

Mikaela Schiffrin's 90 + wins and still counting

Tiger Woods winning 4 consecutive professional golf majors in a row will never be done again anytime soon. From 2000 to 2001, he won the US Open (by a mind shattering 15 shots, which is another record in itself), the British Open, the PGA, and the Masters. It could easily be 100 years before someone does it again, if ever.
