World records in athletics are ratified by the International Association of Athl


etics Federations. Athletics records comprise the best performances in the sport
s of track and field, road running and racewalking.
Records are kept for all events contested at the Olympic Games and some others.
Unofficial records for some other events are kept by track and field statisticia
ns. The only non-metric track distance for which official records are kept is th
e mile run.
The criteria which must be satisfied for ratification also apply to national or
other restricted records and also to performances submitted as qualifying marks
for eligibility to compete in major events such as the Olympic Games.
The criteria include:
The dimensions of the track and equipment used must conform to standards. In
road events, the course must be accurately measured, by a certified measurer.
Except in road events (road running and race walking), the performance must
be set in a single-sex race.[Note 1]
All team members in a relay race must be of the same nationality.
Pacemakers are allowed, provided they have not been lapped; lapped athletes
must give way.
Drug testing immediately after the performance is now required for ratificat
ion of a record. Existing records which predate this requirement are still extan
t. Athletes who pass the immediate test but are later found to have been on drug
s have their performances invalidated.
In running events up to 200 m in distance and in horizontal jump events, win
d assistance is permitted only up to 2.0 m/s. In decathlon or heptathlon, averag
e wind assistance of less than 2.0 m/s is required across all applicable discipl
ines; and maximum of 4.0 m/s in any one event.
In running events up to 800 m in distance, photo finish fully automatic timi
ng is required.
There is no restriction on altitude; since the thinner atmosphere of higher
altitude provides less air resistance, locations such as Mexico City and Sestrie
re have previously been the sites of records in the sprint and jump events. See
effects of high altitude on humans. Records set at high altitude venues are ofte
n marked with an "A" though that does not disqualify it as a record. Under those
circumstances, a "sea level" best is also tracked by statisticians. Long-distan
ce races run at altitude, with less oxygen available to the athlete, have shown
to be to the athlete's disadvantage.
In road events, the course is not required to be a circuit, but the overall
decrease in elevation between the start and finish shall not exceed 1:1000, i.e.
1 m/km.
In road events, the start and finish points of a course, measured along a th
eoretical straight line between them, shall not be further apart than 50% of the
race distance.

Bonus payments
Witnessing a world record brings great pleasure for athletics fans; athletes' pe
rsonal sponsors and the promoters of major meetings such as the IAAF Golden Leag
ue have offered bonuses to athletes breaking a record.
Some middle-distance runners have specialized
races, receiving a fee without even finishing
a record results. This is a useful occupation
nning accurately to a specified pace, but not
to become champions in their own right.

in acting as pacemakers in longer


the race, and possibly a bonus if
for athletes who are capable of ru
capable of the very fastest times

In the pole vault record bonuses create an incentive for an athlete capable of s
mashing a record to instead break it by the minimum amount (one centimetre), mul
tiple times, at multiple meetings, in order to accumulate multiple bonuses. This
has been done by Sergey Bubka in the men's pole vault, and Yelena Isinbayeva in
the women's pole vault. Some commentators have complained that neither athlete
ever posted as high a mark as they were capable of. In other disciplines this is
sue does not arise, since it is practically impossible to deliberately break a r
ecord by a small margin, except in the high jump.[2]
World records
The IAAF started to recognize world records in 1912, and indoor world records af
ter 1987. In 2000, IAAF rule 260.18a (formerly 260.6a) was amended, so that "wor
ld records" (as opposed to "indoor world records") can be set in a facility "wit
h or without roof." This rule was not applied retroactively,[3] and has thus far
only affected the men's and women's pole vault. Numerous women's records were s
et indoors and ratified as world records, as recently as 2004. Sergey Bubka's 19
93 pole vault world indoor record of 6.15 m was not considered to be a world rec
ord, because it was set before the new rule came into effect. In February 2014,
Bubka's record was surpassed indoors by Renaud Lavillenie jumping 6.16 m which q
ualifies as both the Indoor world record and the world record.

Best performances in non-IAAF World Record events
Events which do not qualify for IAAF-ratified world records are typically referr
ed to as world bests. While very common in the first half of 20th century, a lar
ge number of races over distances by imperial measurements became rare occurrenc
es and the IAAF removed all imperial measured events from its world record lists
in 1976
with the sole exception being the mile run (which remains common due to
its historical prominence in track and field).
Some road racing distances and indoor variations of outdoor events fall outside
of IAAF's lists. Records set in uncommon events usually do not adhere to the str
ict criteria found in IAAF-ratifiable events. One example is the 150 metres reco
rd, which was set by Usain Bolt on a specially-made straight track, while previo
us performances (such as the Bailey Johnson 150-metre race) were completed on a tr
aditional circuit which included a partial bend in the track.
The 40 yard dash a standard acceleration evaluation for American Football player
s does not fall within the usual criteria of athletics racing events. In most 40
yard dashes, reaction times are not recorded as timing starts only once the pla
yer is in motion, and the standards for timing a "football 40" are so lax and in
consistent that a real world record cannot be claimed. Performances are hand-tim
ed and calculated to 1/100th of a second, although studies show human beings sim
ply cannot react consistently or accurately enough for this to be a valid method
; even those using light beams are timed by the motion of the athlete, still rem
oving the normal factor of reaction time. All these factors make track and "foot
ball 40" performances incomparable. The world best time for a "football 40" is 4
.17 by Deion Sanders. The extrapolated best for an Olympic level athlete, includ
ing reacting to a starting gun, currently is by Maurice Greene at the 2001 World
Championships in Athletics with a time of 4.24.[63][64]

Notes
Women's 100 m
It is widely believed that the wind gauge was faulty for the race in which Flore
nce Griffith Joyner set the official world record for the women's 100 m of 10.49
s.[144] A 1995 report commissioned by the IAAF estimated the true wind speed wa
s between +5.0 m/s and +7.0 m/s, rather than the 0.0 recorded.[144] If this time
, recorded in the quarter-final of the 1988 U.S. Olympic trials, were excluded,
the world record would be 10.61 s, recorded the next day at the same venue by th
e same athlete in the final.[144][145]
Javelin specifications
See also: Javelin redesign
The men's javelin specification was changed with effect from 1986, and the women
's from 2000. The purpose was to reduce the number of illegal flat landings, but
a side-effect was to reduce the distance travelled. The prior world records in
individual men's and women's javelin were invalidated, but the prior records in
decathlon and heptathlon were not.[146]
The old specification records for men's and women's javelin were as follows:
Event Record Athlete
Nationality
Date
Meet
Place Ref
Men's 104.80 m
Uwe Hohn
East Germany 20 July 1984
East Berlin, East Germany
Women's
80.00 m
Petra Felke
East Germany 9 September 1988
Potsdam, East Germany
The current decathlon world record was set with the current javelin specificatio
n. The best performance in heptathlon using the new specification javelin is:

not ratified because there was no doping control
The IAAF announced 12 August 2008 that they had rescinded the 1998 world record
of 2:54.20 after relay team member Antonio Pettigrew admitted to his use of huma
n growth hormone and EPO between 1997 and 2003. [1]
This time was rescinded by the IAAF after Johnson admitted to using steroids bet
ween 1981 and 1988.
insufficient or no doping control
insufficient doping control; IAAF rejected the time of 3:01.96 as no post-race E
PO analysis was performed.
no international judges
This time was rescinded after Johnson admitted using steroids between 1981 and 1
988.
This is the fastest indoor steeplechase with a water-jump.
This is 2.32 m farther than the distance thrown by Jackie Joyner-Kersee duri
ng her world record-setting heptathlon performance of 23 24 September 1988, despit
