A 100 meter time that has stood (and hasn't really been threatened) for 33 years. Has that ever happened with any record of any distance?

I remember they made a big deal about Bob Beaman's long jump record lasting almost 25 years. But Beaman was fortunate enough to have perfect conditions in Mexico City.

To me, perhaps the only other speed record that is more impressive that has lasted the test of time is Secretariat's record in the three Triple Crown races - even though one is not officiall. We're coming up on 50 years on Secretariat's record breaking times. You would’ve thought that with all of the advances in science and training, one of those records would’ve been broken by now.

Secretariat and Florence Griffith-Joyner were both hopped up on shite you just couldn't get away with after that.
