Regardless how long and how intensive someone has followed...

I'm still looking for videos of world records.

Maybe someone can help for this ones (even small clips or info where I could get it would be great)


1976 3000mW 8:27.2 College Park Lyudmilla...

Drechsler is not so far behind Nr. 10 with at least 7039 points (not sure about all her PBs at the moment).

I have the 800m in full, but I don't think I have anything from this Olympic stuff.

Hi Steve,

I have good stuff in great quality from the 1972 Trials.

It's completely irrelevant for which mark in the different events you will get 1.000 points.

Or if - say 17m in the SP- is worth 1.000 points or 10.000 points. If every centimeter more or less...

Maybe someone can help with LONG versions of Peter Snell's WRs? Or good stuff from Gunder Hägg and/or Arne Andersson?

Thanks for your info!

I'm looking for videos of the following world records:

1955 800m 1:45.7 Oslo Roger Moens
1974 880y 1:44.1 Eugene Rick Wohlhuter
1977 800m 1:43.44 Sofia Alberto Juantorena
1955 1500m 3:40.8 Oslo...

Maybe someone can help for this one:

13.01.1995 Hamilton (CAN) 3000m(i)

1. G. Fell (Can)
2. T. Nohilly (USA)
3. J. Kapkory (KEN)
4. S. Aouita 8:07.72
5. ?
6. ?

Does someone have some additions to these Aouita races in Spain from 1990?

15.03.1990 Oviedo 3000m(i)

1. S. Aouita 7:44.21
2. R. Vera, URU
3. L. Zabaleta, ESP


03.09.1990 Jerez 1 Mile

Hello, does anybody have some additions to the following races with Said Aouita in Shizuoka from the 1980s and 1990s?


28.04.1985 Shizuoka 5000m

1. S. Aouita 13:51.02


27.04.1986 Shizuoka...

I totally agree.

In my IAAF WR book (1999 edition) there are the first eight finishers of the mens race listed as well as Cram, Stewart and Espir as pace setters. But there are 15 athletes at the starting line, so...

Wow - thank you so much for this!

And then we see Ingrid Kristiansen, Grete Waitz and John Walker! And another WR from Paula Fudge - what a clip!

Does anyone have the full results from the...

Yes, I know. There also was little bit from this race in Eurosport many years back which I have.

What abourt the Knarvik race (Btw, Steve Cram was pacemaker!)? Also a very small meeting, but there...

That's very disappointing - but still thanks for the info!

Henry Rono definitely is one of THE legends of distance running. He has set 5 World Records, four in 1978 and one in 1981:

08.04.1978 Berkeley 5000m in 13:08.4
13.05.1978 Seattle 3000mSt in...

That's actually not true. Ludmila Andonova has improved the WR from 2.05 to 2.07 in 1984. For sure this was after re-measurement, since actually the height was meant to be 2.06.
It's the most...

I'm pleased that you liked it!

Great that you liked it!

That's correct!

She was 2nd in Montreal and then 4 times behind Koch, including at the Europeans!

Congratulations LopenUupunut!

@Conor Dary: Good one, but still Litvinov is not the answer. Litvinov even was in eight consecutive WRs in the first 3.

Another hint: The five records were set by two athletes. Both of them have...

@Per: No, Steve Backley also is not correct.

I give another hint: The first (and only the first) of these five competitions was held in North America.

@1runner1: Robert Shavlakadze is also not correct. Bubka and Clarke are good ideas, but also don't lead to the answer.
