10 sporting records that will last forever

All the records are meant to be broken is a famous adage in the sporting world. It is true, but exceptions prove the rule. Here are 10 records that will last (maybe forever) and breaking them is almost impossible.

#10 35 world records by Sergei Bubka (Pole Vault)

Between 1981-2001, legendary pole vaulter Sergiy Bubka broke the world record in the event an astonishing 35 times. His overall record was broken last year by Frenchman Renaud Lavillenie of France (6.16 metres) but his record of shattering the world record 35 times still stands to this day. In recent times, Russia’s Yelena Isinbayeva (again, in the pole vault) has managed to break the world record in the women’s 17 times, and an additional 13 times indoors, making for a cumulative 30 world records set by her.
