Olympic records are the best performances achieved in various sports during the Olympic Games. These records are set by athletes competing at the highest level and are officially recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Each sport has its own set of records, which can include times, distances, or scores, depending on the event. When an athlete breaks an existing Olympic record, it is celebrated as a significant achievement. These records can be broken in every Olympic cycle, showcasing the evolution of athletic performance. The pursuit of setting new records often drives athletes to train harder and push their limits in their respective sports.
