I thought Bolt's 9.58 would be first, but when I saw Zelezny I thought "well deserved". Zelezny was a beast. I feel he's a bit underrated, and not as well known as other track and field legends. I'd definitely put him up there with Bubka, Lewis, Bolt, Johnson, El Guerrouj, Bekele, Gebrselassie, Moses, Oerter etc. He threw over 90 meters 53 times in his career, that's more times than the 18 others that have thrown over 90 meters combined. 3 Olympic golds, one silver, and 5 Olympic finals in total. 3 World championship golds. Had the longest throw of the year 7 different years. He won 134 out of 200 finals during his 20-year senior career (13 out of 14 finals in 1996, 15 out of 17 in 1994, 14 out of 15 in 1993, 10 out of 11 in 1991) He threw 92.80 when he was 35 and 85.92 when he was 40. His 92.80 throw was in 2001, and no one threw longer than that in 16 years. In one competition Zelezny threw over 90 meters in 5 of his 6 throws. And in Sheffield 1993 he threw over 95 meters two times in the same competition. In the 1995 World Championships, he QUALIFIED with at throw of 90.12m, and in the 2001 World Championships, he qualified with a 90.76m throw (that is longer than the season best of most years, including 2019) This is Michael Jordan/Wayne Gretzky/Michael Phelps -levels of dominance. And yeah, he's also thrown a softball 128.63 meters (422 feet) Just insane.

@@animus3328 3:43.13 (1292 points) is a fantastic record, but I'd say Hicham's 3:26.00 (1303 points) for 1500 is slightly more impressive. It is a higher score on IAAF's scoring tables (a 3:26.00 on the 1500m equates to a 3:42.34 on the mile). Zelezny's 98.48 equates to 1355 points, which is unbelievable. Hicham has run the mile 0.27 seconds (3.5 points) faster than the second-fastest guy (Noah Ngeny) while Zelezny has thrown 4.04 meters (63 points) longer than number 2 (Johannes Vetter). That is a much greater margin.

I might add that I used to watch a lot of javelin because of my countryman Andreas Thorkildsen. He was great (two Olympic golds, 4 WC medals), and he had an impressive personal record of 91.59. And while 91.59 is great, it's still lightyears behind 98.48.

I can't help but wonder if the glamour associated with the 100m makes a big difference in why the long jump record isn't being challenged in recent decades. I think every great 100m runner has great long jump potential, but the marketability of being the 100m champ, and therefore de facto "fastest man alive," just makes it a lot more profitable to focus on the 100m and skip the long jump. I think everyone who's heard of Carl Lewis knows he was fast, but not everyone understands he was the greatest long jumper.

Marita Koch 400m 47:60 from 1985. Only 1 other athlete has ever gone below 48 seconds, Kratochvilova was the previous record holder at 47:99. Other than that nobody else has managed to get within even half a second of Kochs record. I can't really see anybody breaking any time soon.
This list needs to be renewed. Warholm absolutely obliterated his 400mH WR two months ago.

It's not really an unbreakable record if the person who broke the record just did it and is on form. Unless you think it's impossible for Warholm to break the record again, then it's a very breakable record. This isn't a list of most impressive records, it's a list of most unbreakable because the records have stood for so long and don't seem likely to be challenged soon.

It's not a real WR though tbh. The wind gauge at the LJ pit going in the same direction read +5.0 m/s and the 100m wind gauge read 0.0 m/s while everyone felt huge winds. 10.49 is very wind aided, the real WR is Flo-Jo's 10.61. A much more realistic time as Marion Jones, Jeter and maybe one other person have gone into the 10.6s and there are 10.7 runners recently like Shelly-Ann & Elaine Thompson.

Sotomayor 8' 1/4 inch. No 1. Best of all time.
The hang time on that javelin throw was insane.
In my opinion I had Jan Zeleny as the hardest world record to beat, until Johannes Vettes got close to it the day! His technique looks identical to Jan but has more body weight!

The British guy Jonathan Edward's the world record holder in the tripple jump, wont be ever beat

A really underrated athlete. I think he once jumped 18:43 with an illegal tail-wind.
That Jonathan Edward's triple jump looks like something from another world. I wonder if you compared that to jumping in basketball with the two allowed steps where would he have taken his first step to reach the end of the court? Amazing.

You don't have that much space to start your run in ahead of time on a basketball court. Or even vaguely sort of close for MOST courts.
Where is Koch’s 400m record? Soon to be 34 years old. That will also be though to beat.

I’m not saying his current record does, but I think eventually Mondo will have a jump that tops everything else on this list
You got #1 right. Percentage difference between Zelezny's world record to Vetter is unreal. 3 Olympic Gold and 3 World Championship Gold and an Olympic Silver medal... unreal!
Kratochvilova, Chistyakova and Joyner-Kersee should were all performance enhanced if we keeping it real.

A good list and I agree about Jelezny being top. Surprised not to see high jumper Kostadinova who I think has the highest decathlon system marking for her record of 2:09cm. Set in early 90s I think.
Marita Koch 400m , 47.60', 1985. No matter the drug use controvercy, she has nice female looks and still alive at 63...Like it or not this is the TOP RECORD of all times.

@@calebdeane8497 Agreed. But they are EDUCATED ASSUMPTIONS. One need only look to every other international sport and review the myriad of examples of doping. Doping, in and of itself, has become a multi-million (if not billion) dollar business.
I can agree but I would have liked to see Daniel Koman's 2 miles or 3000m world record. He's held these records for over 20 years and no one has come close to even breaking them. It's also incredible since he only really ran at the top level for 2 years and was able to do so much, while others have taken years running at the top to achieve their unbreakable world records.

@@umaxi96 the evidence of chasing records or that the 800 record will be taken down? History shows records are broken all the time. Just look at the record books for that information. As far as what is to come there is no evidence because it has not happened yet. But, we have Donovan Brazier, Ferguson Rotich, Nijel Amos and Amel Tuka all wanting that record. I think Brazier or Rotich will do it soon. I also think Bryce Hoppel has a chance but he still has a lot of developing to do. He is young but very fast and I derstands the race very well. This is an opinion and why I said I believe.

Anyone here after Joshua Cheptegei broke both 5,000m and 10,000m world records? The man is redefining what's possible.
It's interesting that you said that there "was one single moment that was absolutely unforgettable" from the Rio olympics. I remember when those olympic games was over, I thought the van Niekerk achievement was truly awesome, but the 10 000m by Almaz Ayana was out of this world. A world record that had been so hard/impossible to beat for so many years, and then she came to Rio and just obliterated an impossible record that had been standing untouchable for 23 years. I mean, she beat the record by 14 seconds. I would put Ayana before van Niekerk on this list, but I totally agree with your number one. That one will never be broken. The throw is simply ridiculous.

The women still get a lot less attention than the men in track & field. And I think there are a lot of interesting stories to be told on this channel, besides Flo-Jo & Kratochvilova, which are somewhat questionable at best. Although it is probably a good thing they did not inlcude the womens 10,000 meters in the "impossible world records", as that was beaten twice this year. I don't think we have an episode on Letesenbet Gidey yet...

Excellent list. Like that you included some amazing records that don't get so much attention. Of course in doing so you left out a few records that many would have expected to see here. 100M men, 100m women, 1500m men, 3000m men, mile men. If you took out the women's 800M for what looks like a questionable record, one of these others could be inserted. Many question Flo Jo, but I doubt there is anyone who doesn't question the nature of the women's 800m record. I will say no more.
Has anyone seen Martina Koch’s WR for the ladies 400? Like Kratochvila, both were so heavily doped that that’s what makes them impossible to beat. Glad you put Zelezny first.
