Abstract
In a sequence of independent identically distributed geometric random variables, the sum of the first two record values is distributed as a simple linear combination of geometric variables. It is verified that this distributional property characterizes the geometric distribution. A related characterization conjecture is also discussed. Related discussion in the context of weak records is also provided.
