Fifty-nine track and field athletes won gold medals during the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. But only three of them broke a world record.
</p>
<p>
The performances of <a href="http://www.hindustantimes.com/olympics/rio-2016-jesus-is-my-doping-says-ayana-after-world-record/story-lijXLb9RxXe1yoKxSxCn8M.html">Almaz Ayana</a> (women’s 10,000 meters), <a href="http://www.hindustantimes.com/photos/olympics/wayde-van-niekerk-steals-the-show-with-a-world-record-in-400/photo-Fb18MPt98kEOwamLn8SonK.html">Wayde van Niekerk</a> (men’s 400 meters), and <a href="http://indianexpress.com/sports/rio-2016-olympics/anita-wlodarczyk-shatters-world-record-for-hammer-gold-2977332/">Anita Wlodarczyk</a> (women’s hammer throw) were superior not only to those of their Olympic competitors, but to the efforts of every athlete who has ever competed in their respective sports.
</p>
<p>
Yet there is still another record that none of them have broken, a record that will take decades to break: the record for the longest standing record.

The man who has held the longest world record is <a href="http://hd.housedivided.dickinson.edu/node/37812">Jack White, a Britisher known as "The Gateshead Clipper."</a> His world record of 31 minutes over 10,000 meters stood for 48 years, from May 11, 1863, until November 16, 1911. White achieved the time during a seven-mile (11,265-meter) race. His time at 10,000 meters is an estimate derived from his six-mile (9,656 meters) split, 29:50, and his finish time, 34:45.
</p>
<p>
But White's 48-year record is eclipsed by the 55-year record of <a href="https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1970&dat=19270829&id=AQ4iAAAAIBAJ&sjid=EqcFAAAAIBAJ&pg=1220,4901334">Frances Keddie</a>, who was a student at the University of California, Berkeley, when she set a triple jump mark of 11.83 meters on December 2, 1926. That record was not broken until May 9, 1981. Apart from the triple jump, Keddie was also a champion in the 220-yard dash, according to <a href="https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1310&dat=19270830&id=eNwzAAAAIBAJ&sjid=a-gDAAAAIBAJ&pg=5440,3333326">a news clipping from 1927</a>.
