Therefore for the men, 3 events (5000m, Shot Putt and Discus) have
never had their world record set at an Olympic Games. For the women,
6 events (400m hurdles, 5000m, 10000m, Triple Jump, Javelin and
Hammer) have never had their world record set at an Olympic Games.

I know this ain`t gonna help much but according to this there are nine!!!

what about reining holders of the TUG OF WAR being ENGLAND

[henrymullen]

the MARATHON does not hold any record as the marathon courses all differ only the FASTEST time counts

According to my 15 year old Trivial Pirsuit game the only mens track & field event world record not to fall during an Olympic Games is the 5000m. Not sure how rigorous the research was into the answer though.

So did England enter the olympics as a seperate nation to the rest of the U.K. ~ typical English arrogance.

They were from City of London police though, and therefore probably English.

Those Curling women were British though weren't they ;-)
