The world record holder forthe 2000m single rowing (single scull) is Marcel Hacker (GER) at 6:36:33 set in Seville in 2002.  \n\nThe World Best Times recognised by FISA for Olympic events are those recorded on regatta courses which have held either World Championships, Olympic Games or World Cups since 1980 at a distance of 2000m.\n\nCouldn't find anything on 4000m though, sorry.  I've included some links to help though.\n\nMatt

Historically I believe it would be  Babe Didrikson Zaharias, who was a golfer and olympic track star.\n\nAnswers.com's bio says: " Mildred 'Babe' Didrikson Zaharias was voted the outstanding woman athlete of the century in a 1950 Associated Press poll. Though she gained her greatest professional fame as a golfer, she rivalled Jim Thorpe in her remarkable ability to excel at nearly any sport. She began as a basketball All-American, then won two track and field golds at the 1932 Olympics. Next she turned professional and began touring the country, exhibiting her prowess in track, swimming, tennis, baseball, and even billiards. In 1935 Zaharias took up golf and excelled at that, too, winning 82 tournaments in a 20-year career. She was only 42 when she died of cancer in 1956."

It's called the "long jump."\nPrior to the 1960's, or thereabouts, some people referred to it as the "broad jump".\nAlso, prior to the 60's, the "triple jump" was called the "Hop-skip-jump" or Hop-step jump".

"The longest known singles game was one of 37 deuces (80 points) between Anthony Fawcett (Rhodesia) and Keith Glass (Great Britain) in the first round of the Surrey, Great Britain Championships at Surbiton, Surrey, Great Britain on 26 May 1975. It lasted 31 min."

Most recent world record in the 100 meters is 9.76 seconds.  That equates to 22.92 miles per hour.  That's pretty darned fast, but they can't sustain those speeds for long.\n\nScientific American magazine printed an article showing the time trends of a variety of world record performances, and it was a very slow, but linear trend downwards -- i.e., the times to cover specific distances in world class performances was trending steadily downwards.  No estimate of a human physical limit, but an interesting study nonetheless.\n\nThe most amazing thing in that study was the spectacular performance of Bob Beamon in the long jump at Mexico City in 1968.  His leap put him something like 20-25 years ahead of the statistical trend for the long jump, and it took that long for the rest of the world to "catch up".
