The Unbeatable World Records
It has been quite some month in terms of world records being broken, but what are likely to be the safest global marks in the near future?

Even though it has lasted for decades the men's discus record is always under threat. The aerodynamic nature of the event allows outlier distances.

Not just the mens Discus.
It seems that #Perkovic is doing a great job as well.
Just last weekend she threw above 229' 7" and just today she announced going for the 77m

Who do you think is capable of throwing the WR?
#Kanter and #Harting both changed their coaches and its difficult to say if this was the right decision...
And who else is out there who might get even close to that mark of #Schult ?
