Olympic records: quick context
Olympic records can stand for decades because they’re shaped by venue conditions, event formats, technology rules, and the unique pressure of the Games.
Some records are set in finals under peak stakes, while others come from qualification rounds where athletes can take bigger risks to post a mark.
Tips for improving your score
Look for clues in the event type (track, pool, field, winter disciplines) and the era, since rule changes and equipment shifts often narrow down the correct answer.
When you miss a question, note the sport and the record category (time, distance, points, medals) to build a simple mental map of “who holds what.”
