Fanie Lombaard, from South Africa, broke three world records in Sydney, in 2000, when he was 31. He won the pentathlon(a sports competition in which you must do 5 different sports), he threw the shot 13.75 metres, and he threw the discus 47.80 metres...and he did it all on one leg.

Roger Federer will aim to finish an off key year on a high note by winning a record sixth title at the ATP World Tour finals which start on Sunday at London's O2 Arena, a venue more famous for staging the biggest acts in the music business.
