Olympics, where every 4 years we get to see one amazing performance after another. Obviously the athletes who do this will also be no less amazing. Some of those athletes give such amazing performances that they write new history. Here we are going to mention 10 exciting records made in Olympics, which hardly anyone can break. You will get an idea of this from the fact that one of these 10 records has been standing for the last 56 years.

Yulimar Rojas is the first Venezuelan woman to win gold at the Olympics. Rojas created history by converting her Rio 2016 silver medal into a gold medal at Tokyo 2020. Rojas won the gold medal in women's triple jump with a record jump of 15.67 meters in Tokyo.

Norway's Karsten Warholm not only won gold at Tokyo 2020 but also got his name registered in the record books. Warholm won this gold in a record time of 45.94 seconds.

Sydney Levrone created history with her stellar performance at Tokyo 2020. She not only won the women's 400m hurdles race but also completed it in a record time of 51.46 seconds.

Kenyan athlete David Rudisha won the gold medal in the 800 meter race at the London Olympics. He created a record by completing the race in 1:40:91 minutes. Kenya's Rudisha is the first and only athlete to complete the 800 meter race in under 1:41 minutes.

Usain Bolt is the fastest running man on earth. And, the fastest running team on the Olympic track is also from his country Jamaica. Bolt was also a part of the Jamaican team that created a new record by winning the gold medal in the London Olympics by completing the 4×400 meter race in 36.84 seconds.

American sprinter Florence Griffith Joyner, known as FloJo, created history in the 1988 Seoul Olympics. She created a record by winning the gold in the 200 meter race by finishing in 21.34 seconds. She also holds the record for the 100 meter race in the same Olympics, in which she won the gold by taking a time of 10:49 seconds.

It would not be wrong to call Michael Phelps an all-time Olympic legend. Phelps won the gold medal in the men's 400 meter swimming event at the Beijing Olympics by clocking 4:03:84 minutes.

In the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Bolt became the fastest man in Olympic history by clocking 9.69 seconds. To make this record, Bolt broke his own previous record set in the 2009 World Championships.

American athlete Bob Beaman won gold at the 1968 Mexico Olympics with a jump of 8.9 meters. More than five decades have passed but no one has come close to Beaman's Olympic record.

At Tokyo 2020, American swimmer Caeleb Dressel performed an amazing performance in the butterfly and etched his name in Olympic history. Due to his tremendous physique, Dressel not only won the gold but also left his competitors gasping in the water.
