Das war Alan Case. Der Rekord, den du wahrscheinlich meinst, stand seit 1971 und war von Harry Drake.
"1868,60 meters! Alan Case just beat the Harry Drake flight record from 1971! Harry shot 1854,40 meters on the 21st of October 1971. That record stood for almost 54 years, with good reason

Alan has been hunting this record for years and years, and haven't given up despite at times huge setbacks. Having followed his shooting for some time, it has been clear that he would likely pass it eventually, but look how close the numbers are! Passing Harrys arrow by 14,2 meters at this distance really shows what kind of wall he has been up against. What an amazing achievement!"
