The Meaning of "Record Victories"
I saw the sentence "She recorded 10 victories in the Coupe de France including the 100% Girls competition in 2017." in a news. What's the meaning of "record victories"?
I only found three different meanings of the verb "record":
(1)to store sounds or moving pictures using electronic equipment so that they can be heard or seen later
(2)to keep information for the future, by writing it down or storing it on a computer
(3)If a device records a measurement, it shows that measurement.
but none of them sounds correct.

The meaning in this case is (2). Technically, 'she' didn't do the recording - 'she' achieved the result which was recorded by someone else. If a swimmer wins a race in a 'record time', it means that they have swum faster than anyone else. So they 'set a new record'. the use of 'record' in these examples refers to the writing down for the purposes of providing proof and for future reference of an outcome . At the moment, some places in Australia are receiving 'record rainfalls' - meaning that the amount of rainfall is greater than at any previous time in that location. The rainfall levels are recorded for reference and then used as a baseline to compare future rainfall. Other examples: 'interest rates are currently at record lows'; 'X sporting team recorded their first win of the season', etc. BTW I am amused at the definition in (2) that the information is stored 'on a computer'. There are many many records which are not stored on a computer - libraries and archives are full of them. However I suppose these days, that is the usual method of recording.

In this case the term “recorded victories” means the person has collected or achieved 10 victories. Her record will show 10 “wins” or she placed 1st 10 times.
