	World record - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In a number of sports, such as athletics or swimming, world records are set in a number of events that are regularly competed in over the world.
		In order for a record to be recognised, the event has to be held according to specific rules, and the athlete(s) in question usually have to be subject to a doping test.
