Numerous world records and Olympic records were set in various events at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Some events, such as rowing, occur under variable weather conditions that can unfairly benefit an athlete's performance through no fault of their own. For these disciplines, there are no official records but rather Olympic best and world best times. Archery
