world record holder
Best ever documented
A world record holder is the person, team, or entity that has achieved the best performance ever documented in a particular measurable activity—fastest time, longest distance, highest score.
The title belongs to whoever currently holds the record; when someone breaks it, they become the new holder: She's the world record holder in the 100-meter dash.
Often shortened to record holder when context is clear.
