While the tennis players John Isner and Nicolas Mahut may not have had particularly notable careers individually, they did, however, participated in one of the most historical tennis games in the world. In the 2010 Wombledaon games, the pair had an exhausting 11-hour match.
It’s hard to see if this record could ever be broken, or how these two even survived a match that long. Eventually, the next day, Isner won the game. He then probably slept for eternity.
Wilt The Stilt
Here he is again for another extraordinary feat. The giant not only scored 100 in a game but also grabbed the most rebounds with 55 back in 1960. Infortantelyu his team still lost to the Boson Celtics even after this amazing effort.
No one since 1973 has surpassed even 37 rebounds in an NBA game. Bill Russell reached a measly 51, but his playing days are far from over. We'll wait a few more decades to see of someone can make it.
The Legendary Pele
Many people have heard the name Pelé, even if they don't know exactly what he did. The legendary soccer player is highly regarded. His career his filled with record-breaking achievements. Even if there are some disputes around certain goals. Still, his legendary status remains unquestioned.
If you combine his international tours with the time he spent playing for other teams, the awe-inducing total comes out to 1,281 goals.
Farve The Iron Man
Brett Farve is one of the greatest quarterbacks in football history. Between the years 1992 and 2010, Farve achieved the unthinkable and played in 297 consecutive games. If we were to include playoffs that would boost that number to 321.
Quarterbacks are also more prone to injuries, so this is even more impressive. On top of that, Farve played the night after his father died and threw for 399 passing yards that game. The closest to come to that record is Peyton Manning with 208 starts.
You Can't Stop This Racehorse
Secretariat the American Thoroughbred racehorse, became the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years 1973. In one of the most incredible feats in racehorse history, Secretariat left his competitions in the dust by winning 31 lengths.
In 1943 somebody managed 25 lengths, and in the more recent times, it was Smarty Jones at the 2004 Preakness got an 11.5 length win. Doesn't look like Secretariat will be challenged anytime soon.
