A record attempt is an effort to achieve something that surpasses all previous documented performances—fastest, longest, highest, most.
The phrase typically refers to formally recognized categories: Her record attempt at the 100-meter freestyle fell short by two hundredths of a second.
Guinness World Records has institutionalized the concept, spawning countless record attempts from the athletic to the absurd.
