Gerald Mathers for the 330M dash - last run in 1912.

While the answer above is right for the Modern Olympics, if you wanted to be really pedantic, the longest standing record for the Olympic games in their history is Nero's for Chariot Racing.

As far as an Olympic Record, Bob Beamon's Long Jump of 8.90m is the longest standing having lasted 40 years. He set the record at the Mexico City Summer Games in 1968. It was the World Record until Mike Powell posted a jump of 8.95m at the 1991 World Championships in Tokyo but Beamon's record has still yet to topped in Olympic competition.
