Superhumans: The Record-Breaking Factor in Sports Performance
Abstract
There are athletes who have set virtually unattainable records, redefining the limits of sport. Leo Messi holds historic records for goals and matches played at both the club and national team levels. Usain Bolt set the 100-meter record of 9.58 seconds thanks to his impeccable physique. Nadia Comaneci achieved a milestone by scoring the first perfect tens in gymnastics. Finally, swimmers Michael Phelps (28 Olympic medals) and Trischa Zorn (55 Paralympic medals) achieved historic dominance in the pool.
