In athletics, that would be the current women's 100 meter dash record set by Florence Griffith-Joyner on July 16, 1988.

Ralph Metcalfe and Eddie Tolan held the men's 100 meter dash world record at 10.38 seconds for almost 16 years (August 1, 1932 through July 9, 1948).

Jim Hines held the men's 100 meter dash record at 9.95 seconds for almost 15 years (October 14, 1968 through July 3, 1983).
