THE 3 SPRINT EVENTS for women as scored on the WA (formerly IAAF) Tables. Altitude-aided marks—designated with an (A)—and indoor marks are included, wind-aided times are not. An addendum at the bottom gives the best low-altitude marks for those with better high-altitude performances.
Notes: we consider Flojo’s official 100 WR of 10.49 to be illegally wind-aided and don’t recognize Marion Jones’s 49.59 in the 400 because it came in a year when she was found to have a drug violation.)
Thanks to those who have posted and e-mailed amendments; more are always welcome.
