Throughout history, sportsmen have pushed human limits to a point that knows no bounds. They’ve pushed the boundaries of possibility, achieving feats so incredible, they seem almost mythical. Some records stand so far from the grasp of ordinary achievements that they appear impossible to break. These are not just testaments to human endurance and skills, they are an example of what is possible if a human makes up his mind once. In this article, we aim to give you an idea of such records. In this article, we will tell you about 4 records no one will ever break.
1. Wilt Chamberlain’s 100 Points in a Single NBA Game
On 2 March 1962, Wilt Chamberlain accomplished an unimaginable feat by scoring 100 points in a single NBA game. No player since then has come even close to breaking this record. The modern game evolved with defensive strategies, faster pace, and team-oriented play, makes it almost impossible for a single player to achieve this feat. Chamberlain’s record is not just a product of his immense talent but also of a unique era in basketball, making it one of the records no one will ever break.
2. Randy Gardner’s 11 Days Without Sleep
While talking about the records no one will ever break, one just can’t forget about Randy Gardner. He set the record for the longest time without sleep, staying awake for an astonishing 11 days and 25 minutes. He was monitored by researchers and endured severe physical and mental health effects, including mood swings and hallucinations. Since then, sleep deprivation experiments have been deemed too risky to repeat. The Guinness Book of World Records no longer tracks records in this category for ethical reasons hence, Gardner’s record stands high and will never be challenged again.
3. Felix Baumgartner’s Highest Freefall Jump
Austrian skydiver, Felix Baumgartner, leaped from a capsule 39,045 meters above the Earth’s surface, breaking the sound barrier during his descent. This mission required years of practice and preparation and a level of risk that only a few would dare to take. His jump pushed the boundaries of human exploration, and the logistical and financial challenges along with the risky nature of the record, it is highly unlikely that anyone will ever even attempt, let alone surpass, making it mandatory to include in the list of records no one will ever break.
4. Wayne Gretzky’s 2,857 Career NHL Points
Wayne Gretzky reached a career high, so impeccable, it became a record no one will ever break. He reached 2857 career points, a record that is beyond the reach of almost everyone. The closest player, Mark Messier, finished nearly 1000 points behind Gretzky. To even approach this milestone, a player would have to score an average of 140 points per season for 20 years straight, which feels nearly impossible, given today’s tighter defense and shorter player career,s which makes it one of the records no one will ever break.
