Isi's two WR vaults got me thinking - which athlete has set the most world records in one day? Could be multiple jumps or throws in one competition, splits in a distance race, or relays. I figure some astute statistician might have this figure on hand. Thanks...

Riehm is the only one to have a series where all 6 of his throws (or jumps) exceeded what was the WR coming in.
I don't believe there's a 4-WR day in one event. I saw Mac Wilkins do his 3, and then there's the something-rotten-in-Italy Andrei trio. Probably others, but none that jump instantly into my mind.

In the horizontal jumps, Saneyev bested the previous TJ WR at least twice in the Mexico City OG finals, while Gentile and Prudencio also briefly held the WR during the same competition. Did Saneyev have other jumps that day that were better than Szmidt's official record (which Gentile had bettered the previous day) ?
Remarkable what great talent, adrenaline, and high altitude can produce. Has any other single event produced more WR performances?
