Quick Olympic quiz question .No googling.

Which current Olympic event record can never be broken ? 

Maybe  where they chuck stuff and have changed the weight of the discus or javelin?

Women's discus record is longer than the men's but the discus weighs less. Or summat.

Equestrian triathlon would be great. You have to swim your horse for a bit, try to keep up with it on a bike (so it would act a pace maker) and then ride it home for the last leg.

In the paralympic equestrian, does to horse have to be disabled as well? They could get that Dujardin lass in to knock them out of shape. 3 line whip.

Is it from that Town Planning one they used to do in the 1920's?! 😃

It's all a bit of a grey area isn't it? At least she isn't a proper bloke with meat and two veg like that swimmer.

Deceptive question I reckon.

Does "current Olympic event" mean a sport still being undertaken?

Or one that isn't, and is therefore a "current" record?

Or a record for a negative, like being disqualified or scoring minimal points?

Ha Ha , not that complicated . Its an active sport and we have probably all had a go at high school sports trials type thing.

I did wonder if you were referring to the original high jump method- before Dick Fosbury did his thing, but I wasn't aware that there were two different records on that.

But, it was poss due to respecting the egyptians who had long keks and burqa
