Question

What is the oldest Olympic record that has yet to be broken?

Answer 1

The oldest Olympic Record yet to be broken is in the Men's Long Jump. The record was set back in the 1968 Mexico City Olympics by Bob Beamon of the United States

Answer 2

The first answerer is right. Bob Beamon's world record (set at the 68 olympics) was broken by Mike Powell, but not at the Olympics. Powell has the WR but Beamon still has the OR in long jump.

Answer 3

Bob Beamon's long jump is correct.

Michael Powel holds the WORLD record, but he did not set it at the olympics, thus it is not the olympic record.
