record attempt

A record attempt is when someone strives to achieve a specific goal that can be officially measured and verified, such as the fastest time, highest jump, or longest distance in a particular activity. The goal is to set a new standard recognized by organizations like Guinness World Records. To ensure fairness and accuracy, the attempt usually follows established rules and is documented with witnesses, official timing, or video evidence. Successful record attempts require preparation, adherence to guidelines, and proper verification to be officially recognized as a new record.
