Olympic record

As an Olympic record bests in objectively measurable sports are referred to, which are achieved at the Olympic Games.

If it turns out that a record of unfair means ( doping, fraud, etc.) has been achieved, it will be deleted from the list of records. Also, the record list is updated when a sports machine is changed. Thus, the focus of the spear in the javelin of more frequent was changed because there was a danger that the old spear could fly too far. Another example is the decathlon, here are regularly the lists of point distribution of the individual disciplines changed. The record list was started back on it again, the old records lost their validity. If a world record achieved during the Olympics, he is also the same as an Olympic record.
