In 2012, the Canadian equestrian rider Ian Millar set an Olympic record by making his number 10 appearance in the Olympic Games. The then 65-year-old began his streak in 1972, at the doomed Summer Games in Munich.
There have only been an additional two other Olympians who have made 9 appearances at the Olympics. Ufortauneyly, Millar did not make his 11th Olympic appearance in Rio due to an injury to his horse that will require an operation.
Ledecky, The Human Dolphin
Katie Ledecky's superhuman swimming abilities landed her four gold medals at the Pan Pacific Championship. She almost broke the world record in the 800-meter freestyle.
Her world records came in the 400- and 1500-meter freestyles, with times of 3:58.37 and 15:28.36, respectively. There is simply no stopping this woman.
John Stockton Is The Assist King
Aside from Russell Westbrook, players rarely focus on passing and assists. When it comes to John Stockton however, it's a whole different ballgame. His record of 15,000 assists is incredible. To set his stupendous record, Stockton averaged ten assists a game over his career. He also led the league as an assist from 1987 until 1996 and had over 1,000 assists in seven separate seasons.
Jason Kidd hit 12,000, while Chris Paul is the league's active assists leaders with just under 9,000. They still have a long way to go.
Wilt Gets 100
Certainly, one of the most famous basketball records of all time, Wilt Chamberlain's insane skills let him score 100 points in a single game. Keep in mind that this before the three-point line was entered into the game.
Kobe Bryant came close with a score of 81. While that makes Kobe one of the greatest players of all time, Wilts' score almost makes him non-human. Perhaps the NBA will never see another player make it pass 100 ever again.
Richard Petty's Unbelievable Number of Titles
NASCAR driver Richard Petty's seven career titles beat anyone currently active in the game. That might be subject to change with Jimmie Johnson's current path. Still, you could combine all the wins from Johnson, Jeff Gordon, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. have and still be 33 shy of Petty's incredible record.
In order to beat Petty, Johnson would have to conquer that by racing at the same rate until and after his 63rd birthday. Gordon, on the other hand, would have to continue racing until 66 years old.
