Michael Phelps dominates the water completely. The Olympic champion’s career spans five different Olympic Games and has broken the world record 39 times. Of those, 29 records were individual and the rest were relay races.
His most outstanding accomplishment that is currently unbreakable is his accumulation of 28 medals The next closes are 18 medals, so clearly, he is still pretty ahead.
Daryl Sittler Scored Six Goals In One Game
This hall of Famer holds the latest record for most NHL goals scored in one game. Daryl Sittler, who at the time was up against the Boston Bruins in 1976, scored six goals and four assists. That rookie goalie must have been completely crushed and will probably never recover.
During pre-NHL times, in 1920, "Phantom Joe" Malone scored seven goals in one game. But in the modern NHL gaming, even with the new weight on scoring, it's still hard to get a hat trick (three goals).
Martina Navratilova The Three-Timer
No woman has ever won Wimbledon more than three times consecutively. The competition is generally fierce and winning involves many elements. Somehow, none of that really applied to Navratilova.
This player was famously unique and totally dominated the All-England club year after year. All in all, she claimed six titles in a row and an astonishing nine overall. That's a lot of silver plates.
Wayne Gretzky's Single Season Scoring Record
We already know that Wayne Gretzky maintains the most points scored in the NHL of all-time. There is more whoever, he also holds the record for most points in just one season. In 1985, Gretzky scored 215 points.
That was just one of the four times that Gretzky scored over 200 points in a season. The majority of NHL offensive players are happy to just score 100 goals in a season. Clearly that wasn't the case for Gretzky.
The Ever- Controversial Lance Armstrong
After the series of admissions about doping, the media frenzy, and the public shame, we might want to retract this one later. Still, at the time it happened, Armstrong's records were momentous.
His seven Tour de France titles (1999–2005) did prompt authorities to do some major investigating. While cycling might be clean now, it will forever make us skeptical over these record breakers.
